Midway American Patriot Award Gala

We salute the leading sponsors of the USS Midway's annual gala featuring the Midway American Patriot Award, founded in 2007. That year, the first recipient was Bob Hope (posthumously).  In 2008 we were proud to honor the surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipients. In 2009 we partnered with the San Diego Air & Space Museum to salute the pioneering astronauts of NASA's Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs. The following sponsors contributed to making the 2009 Midway American Patriot Award one of our nation's most distinctive honors.
