On June 25th the First Capitol News will publish a Commemorative Edition Honoring Veterans along with men and women of the Armed Forces. The Commemorative Edition is being published in conjunction with the St. Charles City Council’s Salute To Veterans. The St. Charles City Council has designated Sunday, July 3rd as the Salute to Veterans Day at Riverfest 2005 in Frontier Park.
The City Council has authorized an additional night of Fireworks display as part of the celebration. The extra Fireworks display approved by the Council will be in Frontier Park on the St. Charles Riverfront Sunday July 3rd at 9:30pm (approximate time).
The FCN is looking for any photos (old or new) of armed forces personnel, veterans, and information on veterans, campaigns, men and women of the Armed Forces that we can use as stories in the commemorative edition, ‘Salute to Veterans’.
Advertising opportunities are also available. If you would like to thank or honor a Veteran or member of the Armed Forces or tell them how proud you are of them call us at 724-1955.
We also invite members of American Legion Posts, VFW Posts or any other Veterans Organization to submit the history of their organization along with photographs for insertion in this special commemorative edition, A Salute To Veterans and Men and Women of the Armed Forces.
Please submit your news items and photographs for inclusion as soon as possible. For additional information call the First Capitol News at 724-1955.
