HAMPSTEAD, NC — Congressman David Rouzer (NC-07) announced a Badges of Honor event to help veterans in North Carolina’s Seventh Congressional District obtain military awards and medals they earned but may have never received, as well as replace those which have been lost or damaged. The event will take place Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Media Room at Cape Fear Community College’s Surf City Campus.

Navigating the process of obtaining military awards and medals can be complicated. Veterans may need to apply for awards they earned or request replacements for medals that have been lost or damaged. Congressman Rouzer’s staff will be available to assist veterans and their families with the necessary paperwork and guide them through the process.

“Our Badges of Honor event is a chance to help North Carolina’s Seventh District veterans and their families obtain the medals they deserve,” said Congressman Rouzer.  “Every medal tells a story of service and sacrifice, and we want to ensure those stories are honored and our veterans receive the recognition they have earned.”

Participants are encouraged to bring their DD-214. Those who have questions about required documentation may contact Grant Seitrich in Congressman Rouzer’s office. Family members are welcome to attend.

Veterans who are unable to attend may contact Congressman Rouzer’s office at (910) 395-0202 or visit the office’s website for assistance. Veterans who live outside NC-07 can click here and contact their representative’s office for similar assistance.

Space is limited, interested participants must RSVP here.
