At Marshall Radio, we proudly salute the brave men and women of our Armed Forces—past and present—who have answered the call to serve. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication have preserved the freedoms and values we hold dear as Americans. We also pause to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their memory reminds us that freedom is never free.
This page is dedicated to recognizing these local heroes—our neighbors, friends, and family members—who have worn the uniform with pride. In the days ahead, we’ll be sharing photos and stories of area veterans and active service members right here, and we’ll also feature some of them on our social media channels.
We invite you to help us honor their legacy. Using the form below, please submit the name, information, and a photo of a veteran or service member you’d like to recognize. Whether they served long ago or are currently defending our nation, their story deserves to be told, and their service remembered.
Together, let’s stand united in gratitude for all who serve—and for those who gave everything—so that we may live free.
