HillVets’ Top 100 Veterans of 2014

Congressmen, writers and entrepreneurs are among the HillVets’ Top 100 Veterans of 2014 list of the most influential veterans, service members and supporters.
 
The exhaustive list includes influential veterans of all eras, from the Vietnam Wars to the more recent Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. And the people on the list run the gamut from film directors to business executives.
 
There are well-known people on the list, including outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a Vietnam veteran and two-time Purple Heart recipient. Talk show host Montel Williams also makes the list, as does first lady Michelle Obama.
 
The list also includes a bevy of top military officials from the Army and the Marine Corps, and Chris Kyle — the subject of the hit film American Sniper.
 
A handful of lawmakers are on the list: Reps. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), Mike Thompson (R-Calif.), Don Young (R-Alaska), Dina Titus (R-Nev.), and former Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.); and Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), and retired Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.).
 
Lesser known figures including Hill staffers and journalists are also included. For the full list click here.
