WAFX
From January 1, 2026 at 12:00am through December 31, 2026 at 11:59pm, listeners will be directed to 1069thefox.com to the “Military Hero” contest page to complete a registration and submit required information about an active, former, or retired United States military member to nominate him/her to be the “Military Hero.” Military members may also nominate themselves.
On the first day of the month from through 1/1/27, one entrant will be randomly chosen as the Military Hero and will receive a prize package and notified by telephone. If the office is closed due to a holiday or weekend on the first of the month, the winner will be randomly chosen on the next business day. Submissions must be received by 11:59 pm on the last day of the month to be eligible for the next random drawing. Submissions received after that time will be in the running for the following month. Entrants who are not chosen will remain in the pool of entrants for the duration of the promotion. In the event an entrant is not eligible, another entrant will be randomly chosen as the winner. In the event there are no new eligible entrants, no winner will be selected that week. This station is conducting this contest concurrently and simultaneously with one other station in Hampton Roads, VA affiliated with Hampton Roads Media Group. Listeners of WAFX will, therefore, be competing with listeners of one other radio station to win the same prize. Winners will need to follow all COVID guidelines and protocols put into place by the concert organizer. WAFX cannot be held responsible for any event cancellations or rescheduling.
Prize package consists of: Military Hero trophy from AJ’s Trophies and Awards (ARV: $20), $100 gift card to Long Jewelers; $25 Visa gift card courtesy of The Firm for Men; $25 Bubba’s 33 gift certificate; $25 Wild Wing Café gift card. Total ARV of prize: $195.
WAFX contests are open to all eligible Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina residents who live or work within 75 miles of the transmitter 18 or older. Entrants must be active, former, or retired military personnel with military ID and must be based locally. They can be currently deployed or overseas, but must have a home base of Hampton Roads. Any prize awarded to an ineligible listener will be deemed null and void, and an alternate eligible winner may be named. Prizes are not transferrable or redeemable for cash.
Images submitted must be owned by the person submitting the entry. No one else may have, or can claim, legal rights to the image. If there is a “minor” (a child or person under the age of 18) in this image, the entrant must certify that he or she is the parent or legal guardian of the minor (child or children) in the image. Any misrepresentation of ownership of the submitted image, or legal guardianship of the minor in the submitted image (if any), will be grounds for disqualification of the contest and potentially all future contests or promotions with Tidewater Communications. Entries containing inappropriate images will be disqualified. Tidewater Communications has final say of what content is appropriate for the website. No indecent or obscene material, no content or material that is illegal, no material containing nudity or is sexually explicit, or by law, obscene profane or pornographic is permitted. By entering this contest, you are verifying that you are the owner and producer of the submitted material and that no third-party ownership rights exist to the image. If the image contains people, by submitting such image you agree to have the rights necessary to consent or submit on behalf of those in the image.

Shannon Gillespie, Navy
“My girlfriend is an amazing talented person who always tries to help others before herself. She comes from a long line of veterans and she is the first of her family, so she holds that pride strong to her heart. She got injured in the Navy and has gone through small surgeries for her foot an back to help with everyday activities. Constantly suffering with spinal pain and chronic migraines, shannon always is out and about helping in small ways. Every valentines day she goes out and gives out roses to people working fast food who couldn’t be home with their partner. While she was still in and being treated for her spine, she saw a woman crash her car outside of base! She was the only active duty person to take action, she pulled the woman from the smoking car, treated her bleeding head wound, and waited till help arrived. She never left the elderly woman’s side till her husband came to get her hours later, cause shannon was a corpsman and held that true to her soul, just like her now passed grandfather. My girlfriend never got recognition for her action that day and I really want her to be.
She was even able to hand her grandma her grandpas flag at his funeral, he never got to see her in her whites, so she made sure she wore them for him!
She’s amazing, funny, artistic, loyal, and the unspoken hero of my life. I love her.”
Samantha Chaney, Air Force
My wife has endured over twelve long, challenging years, during which she shouldered the incredible burden of being a single mother, pouring her heart and soul into raising our children. Then, just two and a half years ago, our lives changed forever when we met—bringing joy, hope, and a newfound purpose. Together, we are now blessed with twin boys—bright, lively, and full of life—who are nine years old, one of whom faces the unique challenges of autism. She has moved countless times across the country—from Washington to Florida—never wavering in her strength and resilience.”
Seth Marks, Army
“Even though SGT Marks sustained several injuries he continued to teach and go on missions against the recommendations of his medic, because he believed the mission was greater than himself. SGT Marks is currently working on his Medical Retirement as a reservist at FT. Eustis Va.”
Gary Swisher, Navy
“He is a really good man, good friend, and very honorable person. He dresses up as Santa at Christmas time and gives out candy canes. He is thoughtful and caring and always helping others!”
Emily Sukal, Navy
“Emily is an active-duty Sailor with 25yrs in the US Navy and a Master Chief (sel). She takes care of Sailors, our children and herself. Emily is determined and continues to defy the odds against her. If there is 1 person, that has always stood by me (15yrs), when I’m acting my worst, Emily is the 1 and I will continue picking Emily over anyone else. She may not always like my opinions, nor agrees with me, and even though, I don’t always say that she does an amazing job to her, Emily holds her own pretty darn good. I am very proud of my wife and continue to be there for you (even if she doesn’t see it).”
Joshua Nunley, Army
“Joshua just retired on March 1st from 20 years in the United States Army. He deployed three separate times. We have lived all over the world and ended his career here in Virginia Beach virginia. He also recently got his bachelor’s degree in information systems. We are so proud of him and all that he has done for this country and for us as his family.”

Conner Ruby, Navy
“I love him and he’s taken really great care of me for as long as I’ve known him, he really loves this country and the military and really does a good job at keeping everyone safe. I really think he’s a hero.”
Michael Stenson, Marine Corps
“As a father, you hope to raise a child who is strong, compassionate, and honorable. Mikey is all of those things and more. He is a man of integrity, perseverance, and love, and he has made our family, our country, and me proud beyond words.”
