The Grateful Nation Award, established in 2003, is presented annually to six young heroes recognized for having distinguished themselves through superior conduct in the War on Terrorism. Honorees are chosen by their respective service and come from the enlisted, noncommissioned officer and junior officer ranks. Honorees represent each of the five branches of the U.S. military and the U.S. Special Operations Command.

On Monday, November 7, JINSA held its 2011 Henry M. Jackson Distinguished Service Award & Grateful Nation Awards Dinner. For the 29th consecutive year, JINSA honored a leader whose career has been distinguished by the principle that is the foundation of JINSA's work; the belief that the United States requires a strong military capability for both its own security and for that of trustworthy friends and allies.

In 1996 Ricochet became the only band in country music to chart a recording of our national anthem. As a way to honor our nation and those who keep us free the band has continued to perform the national anthem during each of their live performances and at events throughout the world since that date. Likewise, each year since 1982 The Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs has honored the military's five service chiefs and the Commander of the Special Operations Command with the Henry M. Jackson Distinguished Service Award.
