AUTAUGA COUNTY, Ala. — In recognition of the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of our nation's military members and their families, the Autauga County Commission has proclaimed November 8–14, 2026, as Military Appreciation Week in Autauga County.

Commissioner Rusty Jacksland, on behalf of the Autauga County Commission, will be presenting the official proclamation to the Chamber of Commerce in recognition of the important role our military members, veterans, and their families play in our communities and throughout our nation.

Military service is a commitment that extends far beyond the uniform. It means time away from loved ones, missed family milestones, and sacrifices made not only by those who serve, but also by the families who stand beside them.

Here in Autauga County, we are especially proud of the men and women who have answered the call to serve. Our veterans, active-duty military members, National Guard and Reserve personnel, and military families are an important part of the fabric of our community.

With Veterans Day observed on November 11, Military Appreciation Week provides a meaningful opportunity for residents, businesses, schools, and community organizations to come together in expressing gratitude for those who have served and continue to serve our country.

The Autauga County Commission encourages everyone to take a moment during Military Appreciation Week to thank a veteran, recognize a military family, and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms.

Military Appreciation Week is more than a proclamation. It is a reminder that the freedoms we enjoy are made possible by the courage, commitment, and sacrifices of others.

The Autauga County Commission extends its heartfelt appreciation to every service member, veteran, and military family for their service to our nation and their contributions to our community.

To all who serve, all who have served, and the families who stand beside them — Autauga County thanks you.
