Alaska USA honored 12 members of Alaska’s armed services chosen as the Service Person of the Year honorees as well as the Spouse of the Year, and the Bobby Alexander Civic Leader of the Year at the 28th Annual Alaska Military Appreciation Breakfast.

These exceptional enlisted service members represent each of the active-duty branches of the Guard and Reserve. Each nominee underwent a panel interview after being nominated by their supervisors and was recognized and awarded for their outstanding achievements.

This year’s guests included the command teams of the 12 honorees, as well as representatives from Senator Murkowski’s and Senator Sullivan’s offices.  Alaska USA President and CEO Geoff Lundfelt, along with Alaska USA Board members and other members of Alaska USA senior leadership team, were in attendance to recognize the awardees.

“This event is one we look forward to every year to honor these active-duty service members, Spouse of Year, and the Bobby Alexander Civic Leader of the Year and celebrate their incredible achievements.  It is truly appreciated by the service members who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Geoff Lundfelt, President and CEO, Alaska USA.  “This event is a great opportunity to look back at our history and think about our beginnings established in the military.”

The Alaska USA Military Appreciation Breakfast takes place in conjunction with the Armed Services YMCA of Alaska’s annual Salute to the Military event.
