Nominations sought for notable veterans
Because of the advancing age of World War II and Korea veterans, the U. is encouraging nominations from those two conflicts, though all vets will be considered.
The nominee, or a family member, must be willing to talk about the veteran's wartime experience. The nominated veteran must have been in harm's way or had combat experience, and currently reside in Utah. Some 11 honorees will be selected to receive a commemorative medallion at the November ceremony.
Nominations and supporting materials are due by June 13. Nomination forms are available online at www.veteransday.utah.edu or from the office of University Marketing & Communications at 201 Presidents Circle, Room 308, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, by calling 801-585-9244, or by sending an e-mail to kate@ucomm.utah.edu.
Information about past honorees and photos of past commemoration ceremonies can be found at www.veteransday.utah.edu.
