Special section to honor local veterans once again

Gaston Gazette - 10/16/2020

The commitment shown by those who have served the United States in the armed forces warrants celebration in every month of the calendar.

But Veterans Day offers a special time each year to honor those men and women in an even more distinctive way.

And The Gaston Gazette and The Shelby Star will take advantage of that opportunity once again next month, by printing our annual keepsake publication with photos and names of local veterans.

As in years past, the special pullout section will honor both veterans who are still living and those who have died. It will be included in the Sunday, Nov. 8 edition of The Gazette and The Star.

To include a new veteran for recognition, you need only submit a picture with their name, military branch and years of service, before the deadline on Thursday, Oct. 22. Head-and-shoulder photographs are the most ideal.

Submissions should also include the name, address and phone number of the family member providing the information. Submitted photographs will not be returned so please do not send an original photograph.

The Gazette and The Star will not automatically rerun photos that were submitted in previous years. But if we receive a request for a photo to run again, we can find it in our files for inclusion in the 2020 veterans edition.

You may submit your photo and information to Artie Beaty via email, at abeaty@gastongazette.com.

People can also call 704-869-1875 to rerun a photo from last year.

You can also submit a photo by mail at: Veterans Day Tab, 1893 Remount Road, Gastonia, NC 28054. Please do not submit an original photograph.

For answers to any other questions, contact Artie Beaty at 704-869-1875.

You can reach Kevin Ellis at 704-869-1823 or email him at kellis@gastongazette.com.
