Submit Photos of Local Armed Service Members to the County's Tribute Board

The Delaware County Council is paying tribute to the county’s brave men and women of the armed forces with a Pictorial Tribute Board on display in the Government Center lobby at 201 W. Front Street in Media.

Friends and family members of Delaware County residents who are actively serving in the military are invited to submit photographs for inclusion in the tribute.

The Pictorial Tribute Board is open to any member of the armed services from Delaware County who is actively serving. A soldier, sailor, marine, airman or guardsman does not have to be on the front lines to be contributing to the U.S. military effort and our national safety.

The Pictorial Tribute Board is arranged through the county's Department of Veterans Affairs and Public Relations Department. Delaware County residents who have family members actively serving in the military are invited to submit a 4 x 6 color photograph of the individual, along with the soldier’s name, town of residency and their official military address to Public Relations, Room 226A, Delaware County Government Center, 201 W. Front St., Media, PA 19063.

Photos and information can be sent via e-mail to Public Relations Assistant Lauren Contino at ContinoL@co.delaware.pa.us. Individuals submitting a photo of an armed service member should include a return address and daytime phone number so information can be confirmed and photographs can be returned once they are copied.

The Public Relations staff requests to be informed when a military member’s service is complete. As part of the Armed Services Tribute initiative, people are invited to support those serving through letters, gift cards, care packages and e-mails. Residents wishing to write to one of the military members honored in the Pictorial Tribute Board can get their military address from the Public Relations Department.
