An inaugural Military & Veterans Gala will be held at Selfridge Air National Guard Base on November 6th to celebrate Michigan’s National Guard members, our state’s veterans, and advocates who support both groups.
The event is adults only and open to the public. It includes an awards ceremony, heavy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, music and dancing. All tickets must be purchased by October 15th to accommodate the clearance process which includes a background check to enter Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul D. Rogers, Adjutant General and Director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, said, “We are excited to be hosting this inaugural event which is a recognition of the significant contribution the Michigan National Guard and our state’s veterans have had in our efforts to defend the homeland and support so many aspects of our daily lives here in Michigan.”
Awards will be presented at the event including Veteran-Friendly Volunteer of the Year, Educational Veteran Advocate of the Year, and Warrior Citizen of the Year, which honors a National Guard member.
