Tell us about your veteran. We'll honor them in Tuesday's special edition.
Send us a name, a branch, a town and a few words by Monday at 5 p.m. Every Sussex veteran we can confirm gets a place in our Veterans Day edition.
Our Veterans Day special edition, Veterans Week Part 2, comes out Tuesday, Nov. 10, the day before Veterans Day. We want it full of Sussex County veterans, and we need your help to find them.
Sussex County is home to 17,767 veterans, by the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 estimates. Their stories deserve to be told. Maybe it's your father who served in Vietnam, your neighbor who flew in the Gulf War, the coach who still won't talk about Afghanistan, or the woman down the street who served 22 years and never mentions it.
Tell us about your veteran
Our Veterans Day special edition comes out Tuesday, and we want it full of Sussex County veterans. Tell us about your veteran, or your town's veterans: a parent, grandparent, neighbor, coach or friend.
Send us:
- Their name, branch and when they served
- Their town in Sussex County
- A few sentences about them, in your words
- A photo, if you have one and they're OK with us running it
Send it with our Tell us form by Monday, Nov. 9, at 5 p.m., or email it to [email protected] with "My veteran" in the subject line. It's free, and every veteran we can confirm gets a place in the edition.
Towns, posts and churches: tell us too
Town halls, VFW and American Legion posts, churches, schools and civic groups: send us your town's veterans, your Nov. 11 ceremony (time and place) and anything your community is doing to honor veterans this week. We'll run it free.
A note on privacy
We'll only publish a veteran's name, photo or story with their permission or, if they've passed, their family's. Tell us in the form or in your email who gave the OK. If you'd rather we leave out a last name or a town, just say so.
