Marine Corps Times is looking for heroes. Not the types who make headlines for combat exploits, but rather the quiet, everyday heroes whose dedication, professionalism and concern for their fellow Marines and community set a standard for us all.

They are unsung heroes who lead by example — giving their time, sharing their knowledge and inspiring others — without drawing much attention to themselves.

Through April 20, we are accepting nominations for the 10th annual Marine of the Year award. The only way someone is nominated is by our readers.

There are three ways to nominate — online, by mail or fax. Provide:

• Your name, address, commercial phone number and e-mail address.

• The name, address and commercial phone number of your nominee and his/her unit commander.

• An explanation of why your nominee deserves this award (in 300 words or less).

• Names and contact information for three people who can verify the nominee’s achievements that took place in 2009.

For online submissions, go to: www.marinecorpstimes.com/marine.

• By e-mail at marine@marinecorpstimes.com.

• By fax to Marine Corps Times Marine of the Year Award at 703-642-7325.

• By mail to Marine Corps Times Marine of the Year Award, 6883 Commercial Drive, Springfield, VA 22159.

The awards presentation will take place July 14 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
