Know a local veteran? We want to hear their story

If you are a veteran or know a veteran, the Dayton Daily News wants to hear your story.

In 2019, the Dayton Daily News will feature stories of veterans across the region.

About 1 of every 13 people in Ohio is a veteran and five of the state’s top 18 counties in veterans population are in our region, ensuring that veterans issues will remain important in this area, according to a comparison with U.S. Census population estimates from 2014.

What kind of stories are we looking for?

• Veterans of every age, including those who served during World War II, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and Iraq and Afghanistan

• Female veterans

• Veterans who want to share a story about mental health and PTSD

• Veterans from every branch of the military

Whatever the story is, we want to hear from the veterans in our community. If you know a veteran with an important story to share, send your idea to military affairs reporter Kara Driscoll at kara.driscoll@coxinc.com, or fill out the form below.
