In the coming months, the Navy will honor thousands of Sailors and Navy civilians with honors. The Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO) helps commands share these stories with media in cities across America where the honorees have connections. Commands can take advantage of this service by simply submitting Sailor and civilian award stories and photos to navyoutreach@navy.mil. Be sure to include all local connections the awardee has, such as hometown, high school, college, family ties, etc. Also, please include a brief description of the command and quote about what this award means to the Sailor or civilian. For any questions, please contact Alvin Plexico, alvin.plexico@navy.mil or 901-874-5806.
