A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
[BUMP4] Voting closed today (a little early I think). There is not a loser on that list and the greatest honor I could have was just being included. I’m still no hero, but it’s good be among them. While there may only be one “winner” among that list, no one will be a loser that’s for sure. My best of luck, happiness and health to all my “competition”. I thank all of you who went religiously day after day and voted for your pick, whomever that may have been.
THREE DAYS OF VOTING LEFT!!! Please make sure you go back once a day per computer to vote. Thanks for making it a smashing success!! Only 9 days to go:

Okay, I wasn’t going to mention this here, but I got a few emails asking me to. I was notified today that I am a top ten finalist in the American Hero Award contest. I didn’t even know there was a contest until today. I’m no hero, though I have the privilege to work with many who are. The good news is that being a top ten finalist, I’ve already won $500. The grand prize if I’m selected is $5000. While I don’t feel at all worthy, I could help a lot of people with that kind of money. I’m asking you to share the site and ask people to vote whom they think deserves the award. There are a lot of good Soldiers on the list and I feel honored just to be on the same page as them. Here’s the link:

Thanks for posting this up, would not have known it otherwise. Sorry I did not vote for you because I limited myself to two votes to make them count more. Still, I think all the troops there are amazing(you included).
