Nominate an outstanding veteran to receive this special honor
As we approach Veterans Day, we are delighted to express our appreciation of the countless military service members who have made selfless contributions towards protecting our country. The Macomb County Board of Commissioners has the utmost respect and admiration for those who have served and is proud to recognize the county’s rich military history.
Macomb County is home to over 44,000 veterans and it is an honor to recognize those who have sacrificed their lives to ensure the freedom of others. As of 2022, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, the Michigan Air National Guard’s 127th Wing, supports more than 70 tenant units, a variety of flying operations, and a force of more than 5,000 personnel.
Each year, the Board recognizes a veteran who has made significant contributions to the Macomb County veteran community by honoring them with the Pat Daniels Macomb County Veteran of the Year Award. Previous winners of this prestigious award include Pat Daniels (2019), Phil Randazzo (2020) and Pazzella Colston Bonner (2021). To read more about previous recipients, click here.
