The city of Hayden is seeking nominations for local distinguished military veterans to honor during the annual Hayden Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11. 

To nominate a veteran, residents can submit a one- to two-page biography detailing the candidate’s military service and commitment to the community. 

“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 area community,” the release said. 

The honored veteran will participate in Hayden’s Veterans Ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 11. Next July, the city will also recognize the individual at the Hayden Days “Hometown Heroes/Military Appreciation” Parade. 

Members of the Hayden Veterans Commission will choose the final honoree. 

All nominations must be received by Oct. 1. 

Completed applications can be submitted to the City of Hayden Veterans Commission at 8930 N. Government Way, Hayden, ID 83835.
