Awards

Each year, the Auburn Veterans Committee presents two awards at the Mayor's Memorial Day Breakfast. The Heroes Remembered award honors the family of a local distinguished veteran who has passed away. The Distinguished Veteran award is given to a veteran with close ties to the City of Auburn who has honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Community members are invited to nominate individuals for either of these recognitions. Nominations for the 2025 Mayor's Memorial Day Breakfast will be due on Jan. 27, 2025, at 5 p.m. Nominations may be made using the forms below:
