Honor Roll: Local Veterans

Veteran Submission Form

The Veterans Assistance Commission of Washington County (VACWC) is excited to launch a new initiative to honor our local heroes: Honor Roll – Local Veterans.

Do you have a Veteran in your life whose story deserves to be shared?

Your father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, neighbor, or friend — we want to hear about them!

👉 How it works:
1️⃣ Fill out our simple Veteran Spotlight submission form
2️⃣ Tell us about the Veteran and their service
3️⃣ Send it back — and we’ll take it from there!

We’ll write up their story and feature it across local news outlets and social media so our whole community can celebrate their service.
