ANNUAL VETERANS DAY COMMEMORATION CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS

Save the date! This year’s Veterans Day Commemoration event will take place on Thursday, Nov. 9, at the Downtown Clubhouse. At this annual event, the MAC will honor the Veteran of the Year, a retired or former member of the U.S. military from the St. Louis area who demonstrates support of veterans and the U.S. in everyday life and who serves as a role model for other citizens. If you know a deserving veteran, nominate him or her for Veteran of the Year.

The Veterans Day Committee will review the nominations and select the individual to receive the award based on the criteria listed on the nomination form. To nominate an individual, complete the online nomination form located under MAC > Awards > Veterans Commemoration and submit to Katie Maurer by Friday, Aug. 18.

Members who served in the military and would like to be added to the MAC Honor Roll, please submit first and last name, branch of service and exact years of service to Katie Maurer. The MAC Honor Roll is published in the November Cherry Diamond.

The Veterans Committee is seeking Members who are interested in the Veterans’ Award Program. The Missouri Veterans Recognition Program authorized the Missouri National Guard Adjutant General to procure and present, as a token of appreciation of the state, a medal to each member of the National Guard of Missouri who served with a Missouri unit and veterans who served in the armed forces during World War I, World War II, Korean and Vietnam Wars.
