Anchorage, Alaska – Alaska USA honored 12 members of Alaska’s armed services, the Military Spouse of the Year, and the Civic Leader of the Year at the 27th annual Alaska USA Military Appreciation Breakfast.
The Service Person of the Year honorees, nominated by their supervisors, undergo a panel interview. These exceptional enlisted service members, representing each of the active-duty branches of the Guard and Reserve, were recognized and awarded for their outstanding achievements.
Guests included the command teams of the 12 honorees, as well as representatives for Senator Murkowski, Senator Sullivan, and Congressman Young. Alaska USA President and CEO Geoff Lundfelt, along with other Alaska USA officials and members of Alaska USA senior leadership team, were in attendance to recognize the awardees in-person for the first time since 2020.
“As we returned to an in-person event, it was a nice reminder of how this small token of recognition, is truly appreciated by the service members who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Geoff Lundfelt, president and CEO, Alaska USA. “Each year this event provides an opportunity for us to look back at our history and think about our humble beginnings rooted 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.
