Volusia County Seeks Nominations for Honor a Veteran Program

Posted On: February 6, 2026

The Volusia Values Veterans Program (V3P) is accepting nominations for the inaugural Honor a Veteran recognition program, which celebrates veterans who continue their legacy of service beyond military duty by supporting fellow veterans and strengthening the broader community.

V3P is a countywide initiative dedicated to honoring, supporting, and strengthening the lives of the more than 50,000 veterans who call Volusia County home.

"Volusia County is home to an incredible community of veterans who continue to serve long after they've taken off the uniform," said Scott Olson, director of Volusia County Veterans Services. "We are deeply grateful for their sacrifices and ongoing commitment to making our community stronger. The Honor a Veteran program allows us to publicly recognize these exceptional individuals and show them just how much we value their service – both past and present."

Nominees must be honorably discharged members of the U.S. Armed Forces, current Volusia County residents, and still actively engaged in serving their community. Residents, organizations, and fellow veterans are encouraged to submit nominations recognizing those who have made significant contributions through volunteer work, advocacy, mentorship, or other community service.

A committee of veterans will review all nominations and select the recipient, who will be honored with a proclamation at a County Council meeting.

Nomination forms and complete eligibility criteria are available at www.volusia.org/honoravet. The deadline for submissions is April 1.
