The staff at the Siuslaw News is preparing to
publish the annual Veterans Day publication, which
is a special supplement that is devoted to all military veterans who
currently are Florence-area residents or have a connection to this area. It
will be printed in the Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018 edition, before Veterans Day,
annually held each Nov. 11.
If you are interested in sharing your military background information
in the annual tribute publication, or in updating information that we have
published previously, please complete this form and submit it to the Siuslaw
News. Service photographs are also welcome.
Submit forms and photos by email to mberg@thesiuslawnews.com, by
regular mail to Siuslaw News, Attn: Misty Berg, P.O. Box 10, Florence,
OR 97439; or drop off materials at the Siuslaw News office in Historic Old
Town Florence, 148 Maple St.
If your profile was published previously Veterans tribute and you do not
wish to make any changes to the profile, there is no need to resubmit this
form or your military information.
Please be sure that all materials are carefully labeled with your name and
phone number and are submitted by Friday, Nov. 2, 2018.
Thank you for participating in this project to remember and honor our
veterans.
