Nominations are now open for the 2026 Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation, Gov. Greg Gianforte announced.
“Our veterans answered the call to serve our country, and many continue that service long after taking off the uniform,” Gianforte said. “The Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation gives me the honor and opportunity to recognize these outstanding men and women, and I encourage Montanans to nominate a deserving veteran in their community.”
The commendation recognizes outstanding Montana veterans who have honorably served the nation and continue to serve their communities in meaningful ways. Since the program began when Gianforte took office in 2021, 230 Montana veterans have received the commendation for their lasting impact and service beyond the uniform.
The deadline to nominate a veteran for the 2026 commendation is Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. MST. Recipients will be announced on Veterans Day and honored in ceremonies across the state in 2027.
