Dear john,

As Americans, we owe our military and Veterans a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. The Congressional Veteran Commendation (CVC) program is nominations-based, and designed to recognize the sacrifices and devotion to serving our country offered by veterans within Texas’ Fourth Congressional District.

To be considered for a nomination, veterans must currently reside in Texas’ Fourth Congressional District, must have served as active duty military personnel or have been reservists called to active duty, and must have been honorably discharged from a branch of the United States Armed Forces.

Our application due date is being extended to August 31st. Applicants need to submit a photo of the veteran (required) and the veteran’s DD214 if they can access it. If not, they need to give a brief reason why when they submit the application.
