“If a veteran is deceased, family members can send in the same information and a diploma will be issued to the next of kin,” he said. “Diplomas can also be mailed to those who don’t participate in commencement services.”

Veterans who wish to apply must have served during World War II (Dec. 7, 1941-Dec. 31, 1946), Korean War (June 27, 1950-June 31, 1955) or during Vietnam (Aug. 5, 1964-May 7, 1975), and must have been separated from military service with an honorable discharge. Applications are available at Selma City central office and are due Feb. 15. Applicants must attach a copy of their DD-214 or DD-215 forms with the application.

Chappell encourages veterans to get their information in as soon as possible.

“We have some time, but we don’t have lots of time,” Chappell said.
