SPRINGFIELD
- The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs is asking for
nominations for the Illinois Veterans’ Patriotic Volunteer
Appreciation Award and the Illinois Veterans’ Business Appreciation
Award. A selection of Veteran and Business is chosen quarterly. From
the quarterly winners, one is chosen for the Veteran and Business of
the Year.

“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.
