the military for the many contributions they make to their local community and
the nation in their dual role as citizen and service member. The award program
honors one active duty or reserve enlisted member from each of the six
branches of military service and one enlisted member from the National Guard for
volunteer activities and contributions that enrich their communities, as
well as mission accomplishments while on duty.

2. Nomination details. All E-7 and below enlisted active duty and reserve
service members with at least one year of obligated service remaining after
