KFVS12 and The Heartland's CW are once again airing holiday military greetings in special public service announcements that are scheduled to run through New Year's Day. We think it's important to remember those men and women who are away from their homes so that we can feel safer in ours. The greetings consist of personal messages from service persons stationed at military locations around the world whose families live in the KFVS12 viewing area.
Our greetings are supplied from the Joint Hometown News Service in cooperation with the Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System (DVIDS). Because of our hyphenated coverage area, we receive greetings from Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. If a service person has family from a town that is able to watch KFVS12, we include that greeting.
The local greetings are included in the links below but you can use the DVIDS link to see additional greetings from other states. These dvidshub.net greetings are organized by state. Just click on the appropriate holiday and state to see the list of greetings.
We post our data from the Hometown News Service and dvidshub.net. If you notice inaccurate information, or additional greetings that would be appropriate, please e-mail us with the details. Be sure to include your daytime phone number.
