UPDATE2 – Remember that Friday is the deadline for submissions. But, that’s not all. I have a special offer for ALL of you that you can only get here. An exclusive You Served offer of 20% off on ALL orders PLUS a free glass vase, but you have to use THIS LINK.
UPDATE - I will adding answers to questions below, so check back often as more information becomes available.
ProFlowers.com and eMailOurMilitary.com have teamed up with me for an awesome offer. They want to thank our troops for the tremendous work they do on a daily basis and have come to me and a select few other milbloggers for help getting this out. They don’t want big productions, just to say thanks.
To say thanks, Proflowers.com has given me FIVE free $70 gift certificates to give away as I see fit. So, here’s how I’m going to work it. If you know a Soldier or Spouse that deserves free flowers, send me an essay on why you think that person deserves to win one of these e-gift certificates. Now, I know ALL military family members deserve free flowers, but I can’t give them to everyone. The essay should no more than 250 words. In addition to this offer, I will have a special gift for EVERY entry I receive. Send all entries to cj@soldiersperspective.us
Remember, that Proflowers.com is more than just flowers. The winning troops can use the e-gift certificates to purchase flowers, fruit baskets, spa treatments and the many other items that the website offers. So, this is a great gift for both males and females. I will send the winners a gift code that can be applied immediately and in time for a Valentine’s Day delivery.
Feel free to send this to as many people as you feel like and post on your blogs as well. The cut-off for submissions is 6 Feb, with winners being announced on 9 Feb – in time for Valentine’s Day.
Q: Can I nominate more than one service member?
A: Yes, as long as you provide a separate essay for each one and understand that one may be chosen over the other in the voting.
Q: Is this open to just the Army?
A: No. This contest is open to ALL service members, regardless of branch of service. I say “Soldiers” much like people use “he” as an all-inclusive term. Feel free to submit Marines, Airmen, Sailors, etc! They all deserve free flowers on Valentine’s Day.
Q: Can I nominate Emily (my wife)?
A: No. That wouldn’t be fair since I’m running the competition. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that Emily is not forgotten on Valentine’s Day!
