Army Times announces the second annual Army Times Soldier of the Year Award in association with AT&T and Fisher House. Army Times will honor the soldier who best embodies the finest qualities of the men and women serving in today's U.S. Army.
The award is designed to recognize a special soldier who has shown unusual or heretofore unrecognized honor, valor and dedication to fellow soldiers and the community during 2001. Army Times will honor this “everyday hero” at a ceremony on Capitol Hill.
Maybe you know someone who is always ready to lend a hand, who sees what needs to be done and unselfishly does it, or that person who inspires and motivates others to be better people.
The winner is selected from the nominations of soldiers themselves, the readers of Army Times.
Nomination details are available online at www.armytimes.com/soldier. Nominations must include:
• Your name, address, commercial phone number and e-mail address
• Your nominee's name, address and commercial phone number
• Your nominee's current unit commander's name, address and commercial phone number.
• In 300 worlds or so, describe why you feel your nominee deserves this award. Nothing fancy, just make it legible.
• Names and contact information of three people who can verify the achievements of your nominee.
• Nominees must be Active Duty, Guard or Reserve through June 14, 2002.
• Deadline for nomination is April 12, 2002.
