A perpetual National Veterans Award was created in Birmingham for
America's first official National Veterans Day observance November 11, 1954 as
authorized by Congress. Its purpose is to honor an outstanding veteran in the
United States each year who has made the greatest contribution to further the
patriotic interests of veterans and veteran organizations throughout the
country.
The award is presented each year at a special dinner during the National
Veterans Day in Birmingham observance activities. Outstanding speakers present
inspiring and timely information at this dinner and participate in the
presentation of the award.
