Marion VFW Post 12022 and Auxiliary are asking for the community’s help in preparing their float entry in the annual Christmas parade on Dec. 7.
The group plans to honor veterans within the parade’s theme, “Christmas Memories,” by displaying pictures of veterans from all branches of the military, whether living of deceased, no matter when or where they served.
Anyone who wishes to honor a veteran is asked to submit a copy of a picture of that person in uniform, no larger than 8x10, along with the person’s name, branch of service and a contact number.
Pictures may be mailed to Julie Tinsley at 9430 S.R. 297, Marion, KY 42064. Please do not send originals, as it will not be possible to return them.
If help is needed to copy a picture, bring it to the VFW Post at 412 N. College St. in Marion between the hours of 7 and 10 a.m. on Tuesdays. Photos may also be placed in the dropbox on the outside of the VFW building.
Submissions are requested by Nov. 30.
