This is our first call for submissions for our special publication for Veterans Day that captures the stories and photographs of those who have served in the military and have connections to Kootenai County.
To honor our veterans, we’re asking for the public’s help in sharing photos, stories and service details. If known, please include any awards and recognitions they earned, such as the Purple Heart, Silver Star, Distinguished Service Cross and Medal of Honor.
In addition, we’re gathering information on local service and military groups, veterans services and resources available to veterans and their families.
Our goal is to pay special tribute to those who have served, with particular honor to those who have earned this country’s highest awards.
The publication will include photos of our veterans. All are invited to send a service photo of their family member who served, along with information on their branch of service, years of service and location of service. Stories and memories from their time in uniform are also welcomed and encouraged.
This keepsake publication will be published in the Nov. 11 edition of The Press.
Please send your photos and information to [email protected].
