A "Veteran" area of service, separated from the rest
Your veteran work deserves to be visible on its own, not blended into a general volunteer total. Create a Veteran area of service and tag every related hour to it — so the program stands apart from administrative, auxiliary, and bereavement work the moment you run a report.
That separation is what makes the program legible: leadership can see at a glance what the veteran initiative contributes, and you can answer questions about it without filtering anything by hand. It's one area, consistently applied, doing the organizing for you.
Hours that document your We Honor Veterans activity
The activities that define the program — pinning and recognition ceremonies, veteran-to-veteran companion visits, salute-to-service events, and outreach to veteran groups in your community — all become dated hour entries against the Veteran area.
Over a quarter or a year, that builds an honest record of what the program actually did and who did it. When you need to show your veteran work to a funder, your board, or a reviewer, the activity is already documented entry by entry, not reconstructed from memory at deadline time.
Veteran-volunteer roster and years of service
Assign the Veteran area to the volunteers who run the program — many of whom are veterans themselves — and your roster becomes a clear picture of the team behind it. Each profile carries a start date, so years of service are calculated for you.
That's the foundation for recognizing the right people at the right time: the long-serving veteran volunteer who's quietly anchored the program for a decade, the new recruits this year, and everyone in between. The roster tells you who they are; the dates tell you how long they've given.
A report for your level review, ready to print
When it's time to document your veteran program, run the Volunteer Hours report on the Veteran area for the period in question. You get a clean, print-ready summary — hours by the program, the volunteers who contributed, totals you can stand behind — that drops straight into a packet for a level review.
Credential Ledger provides the volunteer-hour documentation; the level recognition itself is awarded through the We Honor Veterans program. What you bring to the table is a complete, current activity record instead of a hurried tally.
Credential Ledger is an independent companion tool — not affiliated with NHPCO or the We Honor Veterans program. It does one thing for your veteran initiative and does it well: it keeps a complete, separable record of the volunteer hours behind it, so the recognition and reporting take care of themselves.
Veteran-program tracking, answered
Can I track hours just for our We Honor Veterans program?
Yes. Set up a Veteran area of service and log every veteran-program hour against it — pinning ceremonies, veteran-to-veteran visits, salutes, and community outreach. Because the hours are tagged to that one area, you can pull a total for the program alone, separate from the rest of your volunteer work, for any date range.
Does this report help with our We Honor Veterans level recognition?
It gives you the volunteer-hour documentation that supports it. Run the Volunteer Hours report on your Veteran area for the period under review and you get a clean, print-ready summary of who did what and how many hours went into the program. It's the activity record you bring to a level review — Credential Ledger documents the work; the level itself is awarded through the We Honor Veterans program.
Can I tag volunteers who are veterans themselves?
Yes. Assign the Veteran area of service to the volunteers who serve in that program — many of whom are veterans themselves — so your roster clearly identifies the veteran-volunteer team. Combined with start dates and years of service, that makes it easy to recognize the people carrying the program and to see who's been part of it the longest.
Is this affiliated with or endorsed by NHPCO / We Honor Veterans?
No. Credential Ledger is an independent product from MortonApps LLC and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) or the We Honor Veterans program. It's simply a companion tool that helps your agency document the volunteer hours behind your veteran work — those program names refer to their respective owners.
Does any veteran's patient information go in here?
Never — by design. This tracks volunteer activity, not patient care. There are no patient fields, no visit records, and nowhere to link an hour to a veteran patient. Patient-care documentation for veterans in your care stays in your EMR; this product holds no protected health information, so no BAA is required.
