NEW JERSEY — U.S. Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-7th District, has launched a new Salute to Service initiative to recognize outstanding veterans throughout New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.
Announced over the weekend, the program is intended to honor veterans for their military service and highlight their contributions to their communities.
“Our veterans represent the very best of America,” said Congressman Kean. “They answered the call to serve, defended our freedoms, and sacrificed on behalf of a grateful nation. Through the Salute to Service program, we will honor local veterans in our community and ensure their courage, service, and patriotism receive the recognition they have earned.”
Kean is inviting nominations from members of local veterans organizations, including Disabled American Veterans, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Over the coming months, each nominee will be recognized in Kean’s constituent newsletter and on his social media platforms.
The 2026 initiative began with the recognition of Michael A. DeCicco, a U.S. Army veteran who served for 22 years.
