Military Family of the Year Award
Behind every exceptional service member, often times there is an equally exceptional family that provides a crucial support system. Central Florida USO and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers honor the incredible sacrifices made by these military families with the General H Norman Schwarzkopf Military Family of the Year Award presented each year to one Central Florida active-duty family from each branch of the military (Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard/Reserves). These families are recognized for their demonstrated values of integrity, courage, commitment and service before self in service to our country.
We are now accepting nominations for our 2019 Military Families of the Year!
Nominations are being accepted on https://www.buccaneers.com/community/schwarzkopf and may be submitted by anyone - a service member, unit leadership, a family friend, etc. (Check out the submission form to see the required information for nominating a family, including biographical information and references within the service member’s chain of command.) The deadline for online submission is Friday, March 8, 2019.
