Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: We desperately need your help in locating and informing Alabama veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan about a one-of-a-kind, state sponsored ceremony honoring them for their service. Alabama military personnel serving in, or in support of, Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and/or Iraqi Freedom are eligible for a special medal designed and minted for them. It is called the Liberty Bell Medal and will be presented to them at the opening ceremonies of the Alabama Sports Festival, Friday evening, June 29, in Birmingham. Alabama veterans of these campaigns must register in order to be on the roster to receive the Liberty Bell Medal. There is no charge and registration can be done online at www.alagames.com. Family members of veterans presently deployed, killed in action, or disabled may represent the veteran in their absence. Our challenge is getting the information to our service personnel who have served in order that they will have the opportunity to receive this much deserved medal. Please help us by making these announcements a special priority within your newspaper. We all thank you for your assistance. We hope that you too can join us for these ceremonies. For more information please call Daniel at 334-239- 3297. Jim Folsom Lieutenant Governor Seth Hammett Speaker of the House Demetrius C. Newton Speaker Pro Tem of the House Hinton Mitchem Senate President Pro Tem Jabo Waggoner Senate Minority Leader
