The nomination period for the Dr. Charles J. Martoni Veterans Service Award is now open. The deadline to nominate veterans for consideration is Wednesday, August 30, 2023.
The Dr. Charles J. Martoni Veterans Service Award was created in 2021 to recognize those individuals who continue their service to our country following their discharge. Nominees are individuals who have ended their military service but continue to serve the community in some way. Considerations for the award will include the nominee’s military service, outstanding leadership, and contributions to the veteran community as well as the community at-large.
Nominees should be county residents. Required items for the nomination include the name of the veteran and his or her branch of service, the reason for which they are being nominated, contact information for the veteran (the person will not be contacted unless they are selected as the awardee), and the name and phone number of the person making the nomination.
After the nomination period closes, submissions will be reviewed by a panel led by the Veterans’ Services office. A group of finalists will then be presented to the County Executive for review and selection. The presentation of the annual Veterans Service Award will be made annually around Veterans Day.

About the Dr. Charles Martoni Veterans Service Award
On November 10, 2021, County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and former Chief Veterans Affairs Officer Dwight Boddorf announced the creation of the Allegheny County Veterans Service Award. The award was created to recognize those individuals who continue their service to our country following their discharge. In tribute to his military service and long and distinguished service to our community, the award was named in honor of former County Council Member Dr. Charles Martoni. The first award was presented to his family posthumously in tribute to his service.
