We’ve received some great candidates so far for the Shelter for Service 2026 roof for a veteran, and we truly appreciate your submissions!

However, we know that even if you’ve seen one of our posts, it may have slipped your mind to submit a veteran you know who may need a new roof.

Consider this your reminder to nominate the veteran in your life who could use a safe, dependable roof over their head.

We are about six weeks away from choosing our deserving veteran, and we want to make sure that when Salute of Virginia reviews the submissions and selects the recipient, we’ve included every deserving veteran you can help us find.

Happy Thursday! And if you see a veteran today, be sure to say, “Thank you.” 🇺🇸
