Honoring those who served

HAYDEN - The city of Hayden's Veterans Commission is seeking nominations for Distinguished Veteran for 2014.

The winner will epitomize the spirit of "duty, honor, country" both during his or her tour of military service and in continued service to the Hayden community.

Selection will be made by the committee in conjunction with a panel of veterans representing each branch of military service.

The honored veteran may be from any branch of the military. It is preferred that the veteran has served "in harm's way."

All candidates must possess an honorable discharge, have no felony convictions and must submit to a background records check. The chosen veteran must agree to participate in Hayden's Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11.

Those wishing to nominate a veteran for the honor should submit to a one- to two-page biography describing the highlights of the candidate's military experience and subsequent continued service to the local community.

Send information to: Distinguished Veteran, 8930 N. Government Way, Hayden, ID 83835. Nominations must be received before June 30.
