HIRING VIRGINIA VETERANS MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE
The Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program partners with more than 1,000 partner employers across the Commonwealth committed to hiring veterans. Since 2012, these employers have hired more than 33,000 Virginia veterans. We salute our partner employers who have made this program such a success!

Introduction It is my distinct privilege as a Virginian and veteran to share with you In Service to Our Country . On behalf of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, the Commonwealth, and the Nation, I extend my sincere gratitude to these public servants for their military service and for their continued daily
work to ensure Virginia is the most veteran- friendly state in the nation.
Enclosed is a brief summary of the military service rendered by your public servants. I invite you to take a moment to recognize them, and perhaps most importantly, to remember all those who have worn the uniform of our country. We need to serve our veterans as well as they have served us.
John L. Newby II Commissioner, Virginia Department of Veterans Services

In Service to Our Country
The first edition of this special publication was over a decade ago. In 2016 the second edition was published and now this third edition is completed in 2018. None of these would have been possible without the support of the staff of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, an agency led by two veterans whom we salute for their service to these United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
