The term Veterans of Foreign Militaries (VoFM) is used to describe individuals who served in a nation, other than the United States’, military and now reside in the US (i.e., a service member of the Ukrainian Military who now resides in the US).
This file includes templates for branch-specific certificates of recognition that your organization can customize and present to Veterans of Foreign Militaries and/or their family members. A flag key is available in this document to assist you in customizing this certificate to best reflect the Veteran’s service.
We encourage you to review the Guide for Caring for Veterans of Foreign Militaries at End of Life for additional information and tools for providing recognition and support to foreign Veterans.
Template Certificates of Recognition for use with United States Veterans are available here. Please see the Veteran Pinning Ceremony Guide for more information on completing pinning ceremonies for United States Veterans.
