SYLACAUGA, Ala. – Since 2014, Yea!106.5, in cooperation with Radney-Smith Funeral Home and American Legion Post 45, are proud to recognize a Veteran of the Month.

Military veterans deserve our deepest respect, recognition, and admiration for the decision they made to serve, defend, and protect our country, and the opportunity to share some of their stories is an honor.

We want your nominations! E-mail [email protected] to submit your nomination for Veteran of the Month. Include a picture (if available), first and last name, branch of service, and why your nominee should be the next Veteran of the Month. Please include a phone number and e-mail address so a RadioAlabama representative can schedule an interview.

In 2018, SylacaugaNews.com joined Yea!106.5, Radney-Smith Funeral Home, and American Legion Post 45 to feature honored veterans. You can listen and learn more about our veterans on the Veteran of the Month page of SylacaugaNews.com.
