 “These
awards highlight the wonderful work being done for our veterans,”
said IDVA Director Erica Jeffries. “The Veteran Patriotic award
honors the work of an Illinois Veteran whose contributions in
Service to the Veteran community and their local communities are
truly above and beyond. The Illinois Veterans’ Business Appreciation
Award highlights and honors the work of any business, organization
or a non-profit that has significantly helped veterans, and whose
contributions to those who have served our country are documented
and deserve to be recognized.”
Award
recipients are those whose efforts add to the powerful narrative
that veterans are dedicated, life-long servants whose efforts
benefit Illinois’ veteran communities. The Business Appreciation
award is designed to highlight and honor those businesses or
organizations that go above and beyond the regular call of service
to support our veterans.
