The St. Cloud Hospital is looking for your help to honor veterans on Veterans Day.

The St. Cloud Hospital is putting together a display in their lobby to pay tribute to our heroes but they need a little help.

Here's what they're looking for -- if you are or were a member of the armed services, they would love to get a short essay from you on why you chose to serve your country. Otherwise, if you have a family member or friend you'd like to honor this Veterans Day, they would love for folks to write appreciation essays.  They don't have to be long, a page or less is perfect.  If you don't want to write an essay, you simply say thank you to those that have made sacrifices with a card

There are a few things they would like included -- the rank and branch of the service member and a photograph of the veteran, if possible.

The essays can be sent to the St. Cloud Hospital, C/O Kim Asmus.  The address is 1406 Sixth Ave N.

All of this will be on display in the lobby of the hospital and there will be a special presentation on Veterans Day.
