WRITERS WANTED for Fathers’ Day Edition of The Recovering Politician

A few weeks ago, I experimented with opening up the site to our readers for their Memorial Day tributes to beloved veterans.

It proved to be one of my very favorite days in the long, storied history of The Recovering Politician.

Well, there’s one job that a man can hold that’s even more important than military service. And we celebrate those men every third Sunday in June.

It turns out that Fathers’ Day coincides this year with what would have been my own father’s 73rd birthday.

So to celebrate both milestones, this Sunday, we will open up the site to your tributes and remembrances to your fathers. Whether you’ll be spending the day with dear old dad, or his memory will comfort you through the weekend, we want to hear your stories about your father.

We also want to see pictures. (No, not those kinds of pictures, Washington insiders!). Send us a photo of your dad. Better yet, a photo of you with your dad. Best yet, a photo of you and your dad when you were a kid.

The deadline for submissions of a short essay (100-1000 words) on your father and accompanying picture is this Friday, June 17 at 10:00 PM EDT. Send them to Staff@TheRecoveringPolitician.com.

Let’s make Fathers’ Day an even more rewarding day at The Recovering Politician. Share your stories and honor your father even more. Thanks.
