Carson City's Brenda Horton to Receive Governor's Veteran Supporter of the Month Award
Carson City resident Brenda Horton, along with Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Dallas Croft, are set to receive an award and recognition from Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's office in a special ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 21 2017.
Croft will receive "Veteran of the Month" and Horton will receive "Veteran Supporter of the Month" at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada Rooms 4-5 (on the lower level) beginning at 9 a.m.
The ceremony will take place during a free, two day workshop, aimed at training Nevada Veterans Advocates and Veteran Service Officers. These certified and trained individuals help connect veterans to benefits earned. Pre-register to attend the workshop: http://bit.ly/2f9kWGA.
The awards recognize Nevada's men, women or organizations that have gone above and beyond in volunteer work supporting veterans and the military. The award is an opportunity to shine a light on the work and service veterans and others continue to do for our nation.
Horton is well known in the northern Nevada veterans' community. She has served
in leadership roles in the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserves Association, Branch 137 in Carson City.
The Auxiliary supports veterans in numerous ways from providing baskets containing house-hold items to formerly homeless vets to providing lap blankets to active-duty military moms with newborns to guests staying at the Veterans House.
She is also very active in the Adopt a Vet Dental Program. It provides free dental services to eligible veterans in need of dental care.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend the ceremony and the workshop.
