This contest has ended.
Every veteran has a story worth telling — and now you can help share it.
Nominate a hero in your life by writing an original essay (750 words or fewer) that captures how they have gone above and beyond the call of duty and why they inspire you.
Our judges will be looking only at the quality, substance, and clarity of your essay — your words are what matter most.
The winning veteran will receive a Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad and be honored in a special KOAA-TV on-air promo. This is your chance to give back to someone who has given so much.
