Commission on Veterans Affairs

Montgomery County Thanks Our Veterans and Their Families - Honor Their Service, Strengthen Our Community


The Montgomery County Commission on Veterans Affairs was established by County legislation in 2008 with the goal of the Commission to provide advice to the Executive and Council on the status of programs and services related to the needs of Veterans.  Veterans have made an important contribution to the community by their service in the Armed Forces of this Nation, and Montgomery County is committed to showing its commitment and support for all veterans and their families.

  • Eight (8) Veterans who are a member of a veterans group
  • Four (4) General Public

  • One (1) Non-Voting Congressional Representative
