I'd like to borrow you for about 15- 20 minutes over the weekend, if you don't mind.  Here's what's up.  Our high schoolers are entering the VFW essay contest and part of it is that they have to record their essays, as presentation is part of the criteria for judging.  The essays are only 3-5 minutes long, so far ours are only in the 3 minute range.  Since my son is one of the students involved and since sometimes kids are cruel and think that because he is my son that I would award the school prize to him, I would like to ask for your assistance in determining the winners.  They ask for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place essay from each school.  I'd like to play the top 4 or 5 essays for you and let you have input on the placing of these essays.  Again, it won't take long, but it would be really cool to have veterans and/or current military members input on these essays.  If you are interested and willing to help, post up!

Oh, and by the way, the theme for the essay is "My role in honoring America's veterans".

Cool Eric!!! DIRT said come find him? ?:wave:

Cool!!!!!!  Maybe we can find some time to do it on Saturday.  Like I said, it shouldn't take long.  Would probably be good to just have a time that everyone who wants can meet up and listen to them at one time. :dunno:
 
Now coach you know you don't have to ask me!!!!!  As long as it's for the kids count me in. :love:

Preston actually asked if you were going to be there and if I thought you would take part.  I told him I thought you would.  They think A LOT of you buddy.  Everytime I mention military, your name comes up, if I mention CAFCNA, your name comes up, if I mention our Patriotic chapel, your name comes up, you're a hero that they feel like they really know. 
 
Thank you for the kind words Eric.  Just think if it wasn't for CAFNA :B: we may have never crossed paths.  In a way a truck has given me the chance to give back to our comunities especially our future the kids.  :love:  And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I know what ya' mean buddy!  But as far as the kind words, I just speak the truth.  All of our military folks are heroes.  Now that these kids have met one of you, I think they have a whole new respect for you folks. 
 
not a problem dude I'd be happy too and I'll volunteer the wife as well
