Weber County Commission honors Colonel Michael Getty with proclamation and Big Hat Award

Davis County will honor Colonel Michael Getty with a special proclamation recognizing May 29, 2025, as Colonel Michael Getty Day. This decision was made during the Regular Commission Meeting held on May 27, 2025, where commissioners expressed their appreciation for Getty's service as the 380 commander over the past few years.

Commissioner Loreen Kamalu, alongside Commissioner Bob Stevenson, highlighted the significance of the award, known as the "big hat award," which has historical ties to both Weber and Davis Counties. The proclamation will coincide with a ceremony to celebrate Getty's contributions to the community and the military, particularly in light of the upcoming Memorial Day observances.

The meeting also included a public comment segment, but no members of the public chose to speak. The commissioners proceeded with the recognition items, emphasizing the importance of honoring those who have served the country.

This proclamation not only acknowledges Colonel Getty's leadership but also reinforces the community's commitment to recognizing the sacrifices made by military personnel. As the date approaches, residents can look forward to participating in the celebration of Getty's achievements and contributions to the region.
