What better way to recognize an Outstanding Volunteer for their support and dedication to the VFW and Auxiliary then to nominate them for the VFW Department of Colorado Salute to Service Award.
Each VFW Post and each VFW Auxiliary in Colorado should nominate 1 member whom you feel is deserving of this award.
Only 1 Entry for VFW and 1 Entry for VFW Auxiliary can be submitted.
Nomination Deadline is March 15, 2025 to VFW Department of Colorado HQ.
Salute to Service Entry Form- VFW

While there won't be a Department Banquet this year, the recognition for those nominated can be done at each district meeting starting in April 2025. All plaques will be sent to the respective districts.
