| Nominate a Hero: Palmdale Seeks Nominees for Annual Veteran of the Year Award |
PALMDALE, CA — The City of Palmdale invites community members to nominate exceptional local veterans for its prestigious Veteran of the Year Award, recognizing those who exemplify extraordinary service and dedication to Antelope Valley veterans.
Nominations will be accepted from Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, through Tuesday, March 31, 2026. The award celebrates those who demonstrate bravery, dedication and sacrifice while remaining committed to uplifting fellow service members by volunteering, mentoring, advocating and taking meaningful action. Recognition is awarded regardless of military rank or branch of service.
“Our veterans have given so much to protect our freedoms, and many continue to serve their communities long after their military service ends,” said Mayor Pro Tem Laura Bettencourt. “This award honors those who dedicate themselves to supporting their fellow service members.”
The award was created in honor of AV Vets4Veterans Tom Hilzendeger, who spent decades advocating for veterans’ rights and building a robust support network for service members across the Antelope Valley. Hilzendeger’s legacy of compassion and tireless advocacy continues to inspire the region’s commitment to those who served.
