SALT LAKE CITY, UT. – The State of Utah Service Member of the Year Award Ceremony was held Wednesday, May 17, at the Utah State Capitol.

Proudly representing the Marine Corps, Captain Carly Donner, Executive Officer, Marine Corps Recruiting Station Salt Lake City, was selected as the Company Grade Officer of the Year.
