Since 2002, I have had the honor of recognizing the remarkable service of Idahoans with the Spirit of Freedom: Idaho Veterans Service Award. This award is presented in two categories: veterans and volunteers who assist veterans. Biographies of the inspiring Idahoans who have received the Spirit of Freedom Award in recent years can be accessed via the links below. The award recipients are representative of the many Idahoans who give so much of themselves in service to our nation and continue to give immensely helping fellow veterans and others in Idaho communities.
