The U.S. Department of Labor has recognized Delaware Nation Investments with the 2026 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award, honoring the company’s commitment to recruiting, employing and retaining veterans.
The recognition follows the 2025 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award earned by Delaware Nation Industries, marking two consecutive years in which a DNI enterprise has received the distinction.
The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the federal government’s recognition program for employers that invest in veteran employment. Its criteria assess employers’ efforts to recruit and retain veterans and, depending on award level and employer size, provide resources and opportunities that support veterans in the workplace.
For Delaware Nation Investments, the Gold award recognizes the importance of creating career opportunities where veterans can put their experience, skills and leadership to work in civilian roles. Veterans bring valuable perspectives and capabilities to the workplace, and their contributions strengthen organizations and the communities they serve.
DNI’s SHINES values of Selflessness, Humility, Integrity, Native Pride, Entrepreneurship and Servanthood, help shape the culture behind this commitment. By emphasizing respect, collaboration, trust and service, SHINES supports a workplace where veterans’ experience and leadership can be recognized. The award recognizes veteran employment practices; SHINES reflects the culture that helps sustain that commitment.
Delaware Nation Investments is honored to receive the 2026 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award and remains committed to supporting veterans as they pursue meaningful careers.
