Veterans Life needs a new name.

We want this publication to be of interest to active-duty personnel and their families, as well as veterans.

We want it to be a reflection of the lives you live, of your interests and involvements on and off base.

We want it to report on issues that you are concerned about.

We want it to be a source of information that you can use.

We want it to be entertaining, to be fun, to be you.

The name sets the tone. But what should it be? We’ve tossed ideas around, debated, paced the room.

Then, the best idea yet: Let’s ask you, our readers, to suggest a name.

Here’s the deal: Suggest a new name for Veterans Life and if we choose your suggestion, we’ll treat you to dinner and movie for two.

Send your suggestion to Editor, Veterans Life, P.O. Box 278, Poulsbo, WA 98370. Or email rwalker@soundpublishing.com.

— Richard Walker, editor (U.S. Navy, 1980—84)
