MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE HIRING VIRGINIA VETERANS To learn more about V3 , visit www.dvsV3.com The Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program partners with more than 2,000 employers across the Commonwealth committed to hiring veterans. Since 2012, these employers have hired more than 100,000 Virginia veterans. We salute our partner employers who have made this program such a success!
1 Introduction As a veteran, it is my honor and privilege to share with you this latest edition of In Service To Our Country. Virginia is proudly home to nearly 700,000 military veterans—one of the largest percentages of veterans per population of any state. Of these, many of these veterans continue to serve our Commonwealth in the Executive and Legislative branches of our state government. In this booklet are brief profiles of these men and women, their service history and in what positions they serve today. The sense of duty instilled in each of these men and women while in uniform carries on in their unselfish service to their fellow citizens as does their personal understanding of the importance of Virginia’s veterans and families to the economic and social well-being of all. On behalf of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, our Commonwealth and our Nation, please join me in recognizing and extending our gratitude to these dedicated public servants for their continued efforts to ensure that Virginia remains the most veteran-friendly state in America. Daniel Gade, Ph. D. Commissioner Virginia Department of Veterans Services (DVS) In Service to Our Country Virginia Officials and their Military Service
