  How Historians Can Submit History Books for Contest

  Post, County and District historians may submit entries for the Department’s History Book Competition at the Department Convention, no later than noon on July 29, reports Department Historian Frank Carletta.

  In a letter to historians, he explains:

  “History Books can be turned in at the registration desk or to me no later then noon on the 29th of July 2021. Seeing we did not have a Convention last year (2020), start your yearbook 2019 into 2021 and only Two Volumes will be accepted. Please, if you have any questions, call me. My number is on the Department website.”
