A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Ok, this is LL and I rarely post here but I just gotta pipe up.
The Milbloggie Awards may not mean much to you but they mean a lot to CJ and Marcus and that alone should compel you to vote for ASP, but I’m gonna give you some more reasons.
CJ has a life. He has a wife and kids, he works hard, travels all over the country, and STILL takes the time to work on They Have Names and on here to provide you guys interesting and touching stories. He has started the podcasts and interviews and all of this on his own time and dime. So that you can be both entertained and informed.
Marcus doesn’t write that often but he keeps the nuts and bolts of this site up and running and he even keeps MY site in line when it craps out on me. Let me tell you, that kind of stuff is a full time job on its own.
Both of these guys deserve to be recognized for their hard work. ALL of the nominees for the Milbloggies are deserving. But there can only be one winner. And I’d like to see CJ and Marcus win. I’m partial to Toby too, but he has the distinct pleasure of being the star of Bad Voodoo Wars and has captured the attention of the general public (Canada included). CJ and Marcus have been slow and steady and keep plugging away to make sure we all are in the loop and I’m hoping that you guys out there can help them catch up and get over the top.
They need somewhere between 70-80 votes just to catch up and gain a small lead. That’s a LOT of votes. But I know there are so many readers here and I think we’d all be tickled if you guys could push them to the 1st place position.
Voting closes at midnight. That’s about 12 hours from now. They’re gonna need about 5-10 votes PER HOUR to do this. Please take the time to register and vote for A Soldier’s Perspective in the US Army category!
Thanks, ya’ll!

An EXCELLENT post!!
There are so many things these 2 guys do to help other members of the military. Besides keeping this blog up and running, they both have families and jobs, and they’re just good and decent men. Period.
As a plus, CJ just looks so darn cute in heels!!

Wish you could vote twice….
Good luck CJ Marcus
Marcus
LL, you’ve out done your self this time. Thank you so much, hun.
Carole
Sorry. They won’t let me vote more than once.
CJ
LL, thanks for the thoughts. I appreciate the support.
Here’s my take: if you have to choose between voting for us or supporting the many Soldier support projects we do here, please don’t vote. I’m much more thankful for what you do for us when we beg for money than when we beg for votes!!
And I have no idea what you’re talking about with the heels thing…

I agree with LL, a little time to vote is not much at all. I can safely say that I did not get any spam by registering to vote, so you guys who are a little worried by that can relax.
