Nomination Process

Our first annual Night of Honor award ceremony and gala fundraiser is taking place at the Post Falls American Legion Post 143. We're asking the community to nominate a veteran or first responder for an opportunity to be publicly honored with an award for demonstrating character excellence.

​

There will be seven veterans and first responders honored with awards at the award ceremony that night and we want YOU to tell us who in our community should receive this award.
