Friday is the deadline for anyone wanting to write a letter of thanks for the Thanksgiving edition feature, “Why I’m Thankful.” Readers are invited to write letters, saying why they’re thankful this Thanksgiving. The “Why I’m Thankful” section replaces the “Letters From Home” section which ran the past four years in the Thanksgiving paper.

Readers are still invited to write letters of thanks in memory or in honor of friends or family members who are serving in the armed forces.

The letters must be less than 300 words. They can be sent to the Herald-Standard, 8-18 Church St., Uniontown, Pa., 15401, faxed to 724-439-7559 or e-mailed to hsletters@heraldstandard.com.

Photos can be submitted with the letters. The people in the photos must be identified, and they won’t be returned unless a specific request is made.

The letters will be reviewed by a panel at the Herald-Standard and the top three winners will receive a free Thanksgiving turkey.

For more information, call Executive Editor Mark O’Keefe at 724-439-7569.
