On October 7, 2024, U.S. Congressman Juan Ciscomani hosted the Veteran Servant Leader Award Ceremony in Tucson to honor veterans from Arizona's 6th Congressional District. The event aimed to recognize veterans for their continued service to communities after leaving the Armed Forces.

"I was deeply honored to host this award ceremony to recognize all these remarkable veterans who exemplify leadership, dedication, and service, even after their time in uniform," said Ciscomani. "Their commitment to our communities is invaluable and embodies what it means to be a servant leader. This ceremony is not just about celebrating their past military service, but also honoring their continued contributions that make southern Arizona, and our nation, stronger."

Ciscomani serves on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee and represents over 70,000 veterans in his district. He has introduced ten pieces of legislation focused on providing healthcare, mental health support, educational opportunities, and employment resources for veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

Additionally, through casework efforts by Ciscomani’s team, more than $1.8 million has been returned to veterans across AZ-06. These funds were owed to veteran constituents but were delayed within federal agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs and others.
