Our Mission
Each year, National Veterans Day in Birmingham
salutes those men and women who have served their country as members
of the armed services and those today who proudly wear the uniform
of the active, reserve, and national guard forces.
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.
