AUBURN, Ala.- 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 with close ties to the Auburn community who has passed away. The Distinguished Veteran award is given to a veteran with close ties to Auburn who has honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Community members are invited to nominate individuals for both recognitions. Nominations for the 2025 Mayor's Memorial Day Breakfast will be due by Jan. 27, 2025, at 5 p.m.
