Veteran Commendation Recipients Announced For State
After serving breakfast to veterans and their families at American Legion Post #14 on Veterans Day, Gov. Greg Gianforte has announced the recipients of the 2025 Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation.
One of the recipients is Peter Olson of Culbertson, who served with the U.S. Navy Reserve from 1964 to 2004.
“Our veterans answered the call to serve our nation and continue to answer the call to serve their communities,” Gianforte said. “The Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation allows us to thank them for their dedication and honor their lasting impact here at home. I’m grateful to the Montanans who nominated these deserving veterans so we can recognize their lives of service.”
Relying on nominations from Montanans, the Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation recognizes outstanding Montana veterans who have selflessly served our country in uniform and made a positive impact in their community.
Since the program began, the governor has recognized more than 170 Montana veterans whose leadership, service, and sacrifice exemplify the very best of our state.
The 58 recipients of the 2025 Montana Governor’s Veteran Commendation will be honored in the new year with an award ceremony and receive a special commemorative flag flown over the Montana State Capitol in their honor.
