Appreciating civilians who go above and beyond supporting those who serve and sacrifice for our freedom is important. Showing your gratitude refuels them and inspires others.

It was a pleasure to meet Arizona’s newly appointed TAG (The Adjutant General) Major General Kerry L. Muhlenberg (top L).
Other award civilian Veteran Champion award recipients not pictured above include Kingman’s Mayor Jen Miles (Copper Star), District 17’s State Senator J.D. Mesnard (Copper Shield) and The Ability Center of Phoenix (Copper Eagle).
You don’t need to host this kind of large-scale event to show your appreciation. Even the smallest of gestures are important and well received.
This is how I recognized Veteran Champions at leadership development events I was hosting.
