SemperComm Accepting 2008 Award Nominations

The SemperComm Foundation is accepting award nominations from the military community for its 2008 SemperComm Award, which recognizes extraordinary efforts by military members to boost the morale of their fellow servicemembers while stationed at remote locations.

The award is open to military personnel from all branches of the U.S. armed forces.

Judging is based on three criteria: what actions the individual took to boost morale; the duty station’s size and remoteness; and the nominee’s willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Award winners will be invited to bring one guest to the SemperComm Gala on April 10 in Arlington, where awards will be presented. The SemperComm Foundation will provide travel and lodging for each winner and a guest.

Nomination forms are available on the SemperComm Web site, http://www.sempercomm.org, and are accepted until Jan. 28.
Additional information about the award is available from Alix Hornig, 703-923-7610 or via e-mail to .

The SemperComm Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to supplying morale-boosting communications and entertainment equipment, software and services to small, overseas remote U.S. military bases. SemperComm receives major support from Computer Systems Center Incorporated, a unique defense-oriented software development company; and Stars For Stripes, a nonprofit that brings celebrity entertainment to U.S. military personnel.
