Town of Matthews issued the following announcement on Jul. 16.
The Matthews Veterans Advisory Committee is seeking nominations for the Veteran of the Year.
The Veteran of the Year Award recognizes a veteran regardless of rank, from any active duty including reservist or National Guard organizations, and from any service (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy). The member must have had an honorable discharge.
The nominated individual must be a resident of Matthews, and be aware he or she is being nominated.
Nominations for the Veteran of the Year award will be accepted from any resident of Matthews, Matthews Veterans Organization, Matthews business owner and/or Chamber of Commerce member.
To nominate someone for this honor, please return the completed nomination form along with a brief summary describing the nominee’s qualifications and why you believe the nominee should be the Matthews Veteran of the Year to Charleen Thompson at cthompson@matthewsnc.com. The deadline for submission is September 15, 2021.
If the nominee is selected for the final round, you may be asked to submit further details such as a formal bio, a digital photo, and other promotional information.
A previous nominee may be resubmitted in a subsequent year given the sponsor informs the nominee. In this case, applications need to be updated.
