Thank You for Celebrating Our Veterans
Thank you to everyone who participated in my 2026 Veteran of the Year Program by nominating an outstanding veteran from Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District. Our district is home to countless brave veterans who put their lives on the line to protect our nation and continue to strengthen our communities after their military careers. Their commitment, courage and selflessness deserve our respect and deepest gratitude. This program gives us an opportunity to celebrate their service, recognize their continued contributions and share their incredible stories. The 2026 nomination period is now closed, and my office is reviewing nominations.
I am grateful to every constituent who took the time to highlight a veteran in their lives and tell us how that individual continues to make a difference across Virginia’s Fourth. Even though nominations have closed, I encourage everyone in our district to continue thanking and honoring the veterans in our community. A thoughtful conversation, a message of appreciation or a simple “thank you” can help remind our veterans that their service and sacrifice are not forgotten.
Join Us for the 2026 Veteran Appreciation Luncheon
My office also invites veterans from across the district to join me for our 2026 Veteran Appreciation Luncheon on Monday, November 16 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond. This event will bring together veterans, community partners and local organizations for a time of connection and appreciation. I’ll also be honoring our 2026 Veteran of the Year. You must RSVP for admission to this event, and veterans who wish to attend can register using this form: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/Uiw3hxsCKt. Space is limited, so register early!
Thank you for helping us honor the military careers and continued service of our nation’s veterans throughout the Fourth District. I look forward to celebrating their stories with you and thanking our veterans for all they’ve done for us.
