Salute to the Military
The Annual Salute to the Military started in the form of multiple Service Balls hosted by the local Navy League. In 1977, the Navy League, with the support of Senator Ted Stevens, worked with the Armed Services YMCA of Alaska to create one annual event to honor all service branches and promote community awareness of military performance and service. Each year, twelve exceptional enlisted service members-representing each of the Active Duty branches, the Guard, and Reserve--are recognized for their outstanding achievements, this year at the Egan Center.
