Nominations are open for State Senator Pamela Helming’s 2025 Veterans Recognition Program. This program aims to honor and recognize local veterans who have distinguished themselves both in military and civilian life.
Nominees must live in the 54th Senate District but may be nominated by anyone. The 54th District includes all of Livingston, Ontario, and Wayne counties, and the Monroe County towns of Chili, Mendon, Riga, Rush, and Wheatland. Veterans can be nominated by completing a nomination form on Senator Helming’s website or by completing and returning a physical nomination form.
All nominees will be recognized in a ceremony hosted by Senator Helming at Fort Hill Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua. One nominee from each Senate District will be named a 2026 inductee to the New York State Veterans Hall of Fame and will be invited to attend a recognition ceremony at the State Capitol in May.
“As the daughter of a U.S. Air Force veteran and the mother-in-law of a West Point graduate who served as a U.S. Army Green Beret, I am eternally grateful for the commitment and sacrifice of our veterans and military families. Please join me in recognizing the service of our American heroes by nominating a local veteran,” said Senator Helming.
For more information or to request a nomination form, please contact Senator Helming’s District Office at (315) 568-9816 or [email protected].
