HELENA, Mont. - Governor Greg Gianforte today announced that nominations are now open for the 2026 Montana Governor's Veteran Commendation.
"Our veterans answered the call to serve our country, and many continue that service long after taking off the uniform," Gov. 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."
