Veterans memorial in BG City Park in 2017.

The Wood County Committee on Aging is planning to honor Wood County veterans 50 years and older with a special delivery to their homes. The first 85 veterans registered will receive a velvet poppy pin, yard sign, and a slice of pie delivered on Monday, Nov. 4, between 1 and 4 p.m.

If you are a veteran, or know a veteran in Wood County age 50 years and older, call the programs department to register at 419-353-5661 or 800-367-4935 or email programs@wccoa.net.

Registration will require the veteran’s name, address, branch of service, phone number, and confirmation that they will be home to receive their acknowledgement. Registration will be accepted until Oct. 25 or until registration is full.

The pie slices have been sponsored by Bowling Green Manor, and the yard signs have been sponsored by Wood Haven Health Care, Paramount, Hanneman Family Funeral Homes & Crematory, and Rehabilitation Hospital of Northwest Ohio.
