The annual Walk of Honor is being planned for October in Danbury.  It will be the second year that a local veteran will be honored with the Warrior Award.  Organizer Mary Teicholz says the nominees should be a veteran who has served in a combat zone and exemplifies the values of duty, respect, honor, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage.

Teicholz says it was an honor last year to have so many people share their veterans' stories with the committee and people can resubmit their nominations. 

Last year's winner was Navy Corpsman Todd Angell.

Teicholz says Danbury is blessed to have so many incredibly brave veterans in the community and she looks forward to this year's stories.  She encouraged people to resubmit nominations from last year.  A committee of 5 people, including veterans, will look at the nominations. 

The deadline for submission is September 30th.  The nomination should be approximately five hundred words and should include the nominee’s name, military rank, medals awarded and as many details as possible about their service.  Contact information of the person submitting the nomination should be included as well.

Nominations can be emailed to mteicholz@yahoo.com
