Nominations open for Distinguished Veteran and Patriot awards

Nominations have opened for Paducah's 2022 Distinguished Veteran Award and 2022 Patriot Award.

Priority will be given to Distinguished Veteran nominees that live or work in Paducah or McCracken County and to veterans that served in the Korean War or World War II.

Each nomination must specify why the person should receive the honor, explain the person's military history, and show how the veteran has made a difference in the community.

Nominations for the Patriot Award are open to non-veteran candidates that dedicate their time to serving veterans and veteran causes in the community.

All nominations need to include the name and phone number of the person making the nomination.

Award criteria and nomination forms can be picked up at the parks office, or by clicking here.

Nominations will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on October 20.
