Volusia County Honors Service of Veteran Employees at Luncheon

Posted On: November 10, 2025

Volusia County celebrated the dedication and service of its veterans during an Employee Veteran Luncheon today at the Ocean Center, honoring those who have worn the uniform and continue their commitment to public service.

The luncheon was part of the County's Volusia Values Veterans Program (V3P), which underscores its ongoing commitment to supporting veterans in the workplace and throughout the community. Volusia County employs more than 200 veterans across its workforce and recognized them collectively during the event. County Council members and members of the leadership team personally thanked attendees for their service and contributions, representing a wide range of military branches and generations.

"Our employee veterans bring invaluable leadership, dedication, and a strong sense of service to their work every day," said Veterans Services Director Scott Olson. "It's an honor to recognize their military service and thank them for continuing to serve our community through their work at the County."

Veterans are represented in nearly every County department-from Public Protection and Public Works to Administration and Community Services-where they apply the skills, discipline, and teamwork developed in the military to strengthen programs and services that benefit residents.

Through the V3P, the County continues to foster a veteran-friendly workplace that values the unique perspectives and strengths veterans bring to public service. The program also reflects the County's broader commitment to supporting the veteran community through comprehensive services, employment opportunities, and community partnerships.

Volusia County plans to host the Employee Veteran Luncheon each year in conjunction with Veterans Day to ensure those who have served continue to receive the recognition and gratitude they deserve.
