Richmond Military Society 5K Run-Blogger Challenge

The Richmond Military Society's 5K run is 26 March.

They want to line the route with American flags in memory of all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the GWOT. You can help by purchasing a flag for six bucks at the link above.

Six Dollars, people. ($6.00) One decent meal at Macdonald's. You don't really need that double-meat double-cheese 50,000 calorie heart attack detonator, do you?

From a friend (and Gold Star Wife of a Sky Angel):
Flags will line the course of Richmond Military Society 5k for the American Widow Project. Each flag represents a soldier we have lost during the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars.

The editorial staff here at United Conservatives will be stepping up and providing at least 10 in memory of the Sky Angels from the Second-503 173DABN.

I challenge the ODBA and the readers at BNN to match us.

CHALLENGE!!!!!!!

In addition to Warrior Legacy Foundation and Cooking With the Troops, Inc. volunteering to cook a few lunches for the crews building the patio at Fisher House, United Conservatives is donating $100.00 to the project.

I challenge all members of the Old Dominion Blog Alliance to match it.

Message for the ODBA

Brothers and Sisters, we are gathered here today to celebrate our love of musicahh.

No wait...thats not it. Where is that thing? I know its around here somewhere.

Oh, here it is. (I laid it down and covered it up with YankeeMom's Milblog Award. The thing is HUGE. I had to get a special permit just to haul it back to Richmond.)

(Clears throat)...
ATTENTION:
Tuesday, 13 April at 1200 I will be live-blogging from the Prince William County Complex for the National Museum of Americans in Wartime. I'm pretty sure ya'll know who they are, from my posts last year at the Open House.

There is big news coming about the museum. Its good stuff. NMAW asked me to do this and since I love heavy equipment with guns, it really was a no-brainer. Any members who aren't busy and can get away, come on out. Would love to see ya.

Had a great weekend hanging with the Big Dogs of milblogging and Troop Support. There are hours of video from the panels, and the panel with the former Marine Combat Photographer from WWII is awesome. He was on Tarawa and Iwo Jima.

There is good stuff coming this summer, friends. I feel great. Everyone was very glad to see me and I was delighted to be seen in the vertical position. (and I stayed vertical for most of the conference.) No really, I did. Seriously, ya'll, I was very well-behaved. Well, there was that one time, when......oops. TMI.
