The Saturday Evening Post and iconic American brand Speidel are calling on writers across the country to pay tribute to those who fight to protect the United States with the “Honor the Troops, Win a Watch” essay contest. Aspiring essayists can salute American soldiers and win a Speidel watch by submitting a 200 word “Tribute to Our Troops” essay (#Tribute2Troops). Twenty winners will be selected and their winning entries posted on The Saturday Evening Post’s website. Winners will also receive a Speidel Women’s Tortoise Shell Fashion Watch or Men’s Pilot Watch. The contest runs from April 17 – July 4, and contestants can submit their entries online at saturdayeveningpost.com/troops-tribute.
“The Saturday Evening Post for nearly 300 years has been proud to showcase the American way, and through this contest we can now honor soldiers past and present who risk their lives every day for our country,” said Steven Slon, editorial director and associate publisher. “We are very excited to work with Speidel and Operation Homefront on this contest, and look forward to the inspiring tributes from our great readers.”
Additionally, readers can help U.S. troops and save at the same time—as Saturday Evening Post readers will receive 20% off any Speidel purchase made online at www.speidel.com by July 1, 2013. Simply use the promotion code “PostSpeidel”. Speidel is donating a portion of its 2013 sales as part of its “Change A Band, Change A Life” charitable giving program to help American service members and their families in partnership with Operation Homefront.
