Wednesday, at the ninth annual Veteran of the Year Recognition Luncheon, Michael Sneed was honored as the 12th Assembly District 2016 Veteran of the Year by Assemblymember Kristen Olsen. Sneed served in the U.S. Army for 26 years including three and a half tours in Vietnam where he was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and an Air Medal with Valor for his time in the service. “Michael earned some of the highest honors during his 26 year military career, and has continued his commitment to our country by serving our veterans back here at home,” said Olsen.
