Nominate a Veteran
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT AS OF APRIL 1, 2012, WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT NOMINATIONS FOR VETERANS WHO CURRENTLY RESIDE IN EITHER NEW YORK OR NEW ENGLAND, OR SERVED WITH A UNIT BASED THERE.
Thank you for your interest in nominating an injured veteran or military family for our services. We’re pleased to offer either an activity from The Grateful Nation Network, or a financial grant to assist in covering emergency expenses they might be facing. Either way, we’re proud to be the bridge between caring citizens like you, and America’s finest young men and women who’ve given so much in defense of our great nation.
With that being said, as the Director of OnBehalf.org and a veteran myself, I cannot stress to you enough how important it is to us that we protect the privacy and dignity of our injured veterans and grieving families. If you’re nominating someone you know, please insure that they wouldn’t take offense to any offers we might make. There sometimes exists a fine line between showing you care, and violating someone’s right to privacy. Some families would rather we didn’t get involved, and we respect that.
While we consider every nomination that’s made, we encourage veterans and their families to nominate each other. Most of our nominations come from those who know the veteran or family best; usually a spouse, their children, or a close family friend. And nominations for financial grants need not be made by a third party: military families are more than welcome to nominate themselves.
Who would you like to nominate?
2) The family of a fallen Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine
As you’ll see with the nomination process, very little personal information is required. And in some cases, when offering a personal service or activity, we don’t even need the recipient’s last name–we can arrange everything through their military unit. Our staff will verify the nomination and take care of the details. Unfortunately, we cannot always guarantee your nominee will be a recipient for our services.
All information you provide is protected by OnBehalf.org’s Privacy Policy.
We’ve also provided our visitors with a very extensive list of veteran benefit websites that may prove useful when dealing with the Veterans Administration or other government authority. Please click here for our Veteran Benefits Page, which serves as a catalog of websites that may answer questions you may have about claims, appeals, forms and records requests, and various veterans health issues.
Thank you for your interest in nominating a wounded vet or military family.
