The Brigham City Veterans Day Committee will select local veterans and service members to be honored in a special military commemoration ceremony and banquet. Nominations are currently being accepted for the event to be held on Saturday, November 11, 2023.
Nominations are accepted for individuals who:
- are alive and living in Box Elder County—we do not award posthumously
- served or serve in the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or National Guard
- on active duty or the reserves
- for any length of time
- in any location
- are willing to be recognized
- have not been separated from these services without an honorable discharge.
Nominees do not have to be Brigham City residents, but they must reside in Box Elder County.
Each year, the committee will select five honorees based on noteworthy military service, honor, courage, commitment, and sacrifice during their military service to our nation, but decorations for valor are not required. Selections are based only on the nominee’s military service and unwavering dedication to the veteran community.
To nominate a veteran or service member, fill out the form completely and submit it. There are several pages of information to fill out. Paper forms are accepted via mail or via email as scanned documents if they are typed or neatly hand-written. Paper forms can be obtained from the Community Center.
If the nominee is selected as a finalist, the committee will require documentation to verify the nominee’s service and awards. The committee may request other supporting information. Finalists will be identified in early October 2023, and the selection of honorees is expected to be completed in late October 2023. Please direct any inquiries to the Brigham City Community Center at 435-226-1455.
