Honoring Our Heroes: Help Us Spotlight Local Veterans and Veteran-Owned Businesses

Next week’s Van Buren Buzz will feature River Valley Veterans — share your story or nominate someone you know.

As Veterans Day approaches, the Buzz is putting out a call to the community.

We’re preparing a special edition dedicated to local Veterans and Veteran-owned businesses, and we’d love your help gathering stories, names, and photos to feature.

If you know someone who served — a family member, friend, coworker, or neighbor — take a minute to share their story. You can also submit information about Veteran-owned businesses in the River Valley so we can highlight them in our upcoming issues.

Submissions are quick and easy:

✅ Fill out the short form here: go.vanburenbuzz.com/honor

📬 Or email us directly at info@vanburenbuzz.com

Please include:

Veteran’s name and branch of service
Years served (approximate is fine)
Optional: a short story or note of recognition
Optional: a photo

We’ll feature selected submissions in next week’s issue and throughout November as part of our Veterans Month Spotlight Series.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the men and women who serve our nation and our community. 🇺🇸
