Colonel Gail S. Halvorsen was chosen to be honored posthumously as one of two recipients of the Pillar of the Valley Award. Since 2011, this award has been given by the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce to individuals who have “made extraordinary contributions to the business, civic, social, educational, and cultural climate of Utah Valley.” This year the event took place on April 12, 2023, at the Utah Valley Convention Center. Members of Colonel Halvorsen’s family were present to receive the award in his stead.
