As another Huntsville-Madison County Veterans Week celebration is near-at-hand, our planning is in high gear in support of the many events that make up the week-long celebration. This year’s AUSA-sponsored events include a Nov. 10 Veterans Dinner, a Nov. 11 breakfast for Gold Star families and Veterans, and the Parade, one of the nation’s largest and best.
Once again the Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) will host the Department of the Army Civilian of the Year Award. The Awards Dinner will be held August the 23rd at the Jackson Center.
