Every Day Is Veterans Day

This year, CBS Radio’s ConnectingVets.com initiative is celebrating Veterans Day through its first ever “Veterans Community Showcase,” a three month, two-part program focused on honoring veterans for everything they do both during and after military service.

“The Veterans Community Showcase was designed to spotlight the extraordinary efforts of veterans in our local communities,” said Steve Swenson, SVP/Market Manager, CBS Radio Washington, D.C. “They are our neighbors and friends, brothers and sisters — and each of them have an incredible story to share and should be celebrated for their selfless acts of service. We also think it’s important to showcase companies that help educate, employ and assist veterans in their daily life so there is awareness of what’s available, and other companies may be inspired to offer similar programs.”

During the first phase of the program, which runs through September and October, ConnectingVets.com will accept public nominations of local veterans online. An internal programming committee will then select and profile one vet each weekday from November 1 through Veterans Day, November 11. The profiles will be posted on ConnectingVets.com and Facebook.
