WASHINGTON D.C. (February 1, 2008) - People in uniform who go
out of their way to boost the morale of fellow troops could be
rewarded for their positive attitude and hard work, thanks to a
group dedicated to keeping members of the armed forces connected
and entertained.
"The SemperComm Award is designed to recognize and honor those
servicemembers who are making personal contributions to boost the
morale of their fellow men and women," organization officials said
in a recent news release.
Up to three awardees will be chosen from all nominations
received by Feb. 29. Any servicemember, including those serving in
the Coast Guard, combatant commands and field commands, can
nominate someone.
The judges, four retired military officers, will base their
decisions on actions the nominees took to boost the morale of
fellow servicemembers, the remoteness and size of the base where
the nominee is stationed, and their desire to go above and beyond
the call of duty.
Winners will be honored at the SemperComm Foundation's annual
gala May 22 in Arlington, Va.
SemperComm is dedicated to supplying morale-boosting
communications and entertainment equipment, software and services
to small, remote U.S. military bases overseas.
It's also a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense
Department program connecting citizens and companies with
servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.
For more information on the SemperComm Award, contact Alix Anne
Hornig at 703-923-7610 or at ahornig@sempercomm.org.
