Nominations continue for Spirit of America

Time remains to send in your nominations for the Southeast Missourian Spirit of America Award.

Each year this newspaper recognizes one individual at a local Fourth of July celebration.

Previous recipients include: John "Doc" Yallaly, Dr. Dan Cotner, Melvin Gateley, Neal Edwards, James Harnes Sr., Jane Randol Jackson, Harry Rediger, Rob Callahan, David Hitt, Kent Zickfield and Ken Bender.

Organizations and individuals may nominate deserving candidates. If the winner is nominated by an organization, the nominating organization will receive the $1,000 cash prize. If nominated by an individual, the recipient will choose a charity as the beneficiary.

Send in your nomination online at semissourian.com/forms/spirit, or check for forms that regularly appear in the Southeast Missourian.

We hope you make plans to enjoy our nation's Independence Day with us as we celebrate America and recognize the 2014 Southeast Missourian Spirit of America recipient.
