PUBLIC SERVANT AWARD CITATIONS

 
 
Each year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars selects emergency medical technicians, law enforcement and firefighter personnel to receive VFW Public Servant Awards. Members of the public may recommend individuals for their local VFW Post to consider and applications are due by Dec 1st. Afterwords, our Post Programs Director will submit a candidate for these awards to their Department Headquarters by January 1. The Department will select a single candidate for each of the three awards and submit those to VFW National Headquarters by February 1.
