Eligibility

Who is Eligible to be Nominated?
Is your family eligible? You are if you are one of the millions of military families supporting our Nation each day. Any active duty, Reserve Component, or retired family of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the Public Health Service, as well as families of fallen service members.

Who Can Nominate?
Anyone. This is your time to tell your personal story or recognize a special family that you know. We only require that you be at least 18 years of age to submit a nomination. Military families often feel what they do on a daily basis is nothing extraordinary. We disagree. This is your time to boast; don’t be modest. Take a look at your family’s achievements or those of a military family you know and submit a nomination today!

POLICY: Members of the Board of Governors, Board of Advisors, Representatives, Volunteers, Employees, and their immediate families (spouses, parents, children, and their spouses or children) or those living in the same household whether related or not, are not eligible to participate.
