It's time to nominate a Hayden veteran

The city of Hayden’s Veterans Commission will once again honor a local distinguished veteran on Veterans Day.

The veteran selected will be recognized Nov. 11 during the city’s Veterans Day ceremony.

The chosen veteran will be the individual who best epitomizes 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 Hayden Veterans Commission.

The honored veteran may be from any branch of the military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard), be male or female and have been enlisted, a warrant officer or a commissioned officer. All candidates must possess an Honorable Discharge and have no felony convictions. The chosen veteran must agree to participate in the city’s Veterans Day event.

Those wishing to nominate a veteran for this honor should submit to a 1-2 page biography describing the highlights of the candidate’s military experience and subsequent continued service to the local community.

Send all information to the city of Hayden Veterans Commission, ATTN: Distinguished Veteran, 8930 N. Government Way, Hayden, ID 83835. All nominations for this year must be received by Oct. 7.
