Honoring Volunteer Fighters
The last Monday Minutemen event was held on Tuesday August 9. On that day, some 80 volunteer fighters (give or take) fought for freedom on several battlefields across America and Europe.
Many of those who fought on August 9 had also fought the week before, on August 2.
These Minutemen are honored first today, with a second silver star being added to their Challenge Coin card.
Many, many more volunteer fighters from around the Allied eWorld joined the Monday Minutemen for our second event on August 9.
These fighters earned a Minutemen Challenge Coin and their first silver star.
Thank you all for participating in the second Monday Minutemen event!
Be sure to Save your Challenge Coin card to your own computer, and either save the URL of this one or upload it to your own online image stash.
Display your Challenge Coin proudly in your Forum signature line, and keep it handy in case another Challenge Coin honoree challenges you to present your own.
Please join me in offering a hearty o7 salute to these extraordinary fighters!
Personal Political Endorsement:
Jack O'Conner in Iowa, the AMP candidate for Congress.
Jack joined me in Switzerland last year where he served in Swiss Congress as well as in the Swiss Guard as CO of the Politicians' Platoon.
More recently, Jack has run a small "seventh Party," the NCR Party, and runs the Mojave Express newspaper. Here's his Presentation piece.
Jack was also honored with a Challenge Coin in the June 9th edition of the Army Times.
He's a straight shooter and a hard worker who does his homework before voting, and listens before speaking.
Jack O'Conner is a valuable asset to America-- we need him and more like him in Congress.

Send cash or gold and I'll buy tanks. Send tanks.
Or just watch the stock dwindle as we give away tanks, and in a couple weeks this morale building tool will be shelved.
Announcements:
A Challenge Coins Challenge:
I would like to try to run another Monday Minutemen event next week.
I would really like to make it a properly organized joint effort involving both JCS and USAF forces, with leadership of both organizations directly involved in planning and execution of the day's fighting.
POTUS, SecDef, CJCS and Vice CJCS'es, have received a game mail from me outlining my proposal.
My RL job is killin' my game play, I've pretty much become a 2-clicker.
I'll be sleeping today for work tonight, and won't be able to Shout and Spam this article. Please copy/paste the handy "Shout of the Day" to get the word out about today's Challenge Coins presentation.

If you want to join the any branch of the USMilitary, the Training Corps is the place to start.

Awesome! Hope we can do it again! Voted.
woo-hoo! got 2 stars on my Minuteman Coin!
Voted. It's a great thing you're doing.
Voted, Already Subbed. Custer is the Man when it comes to getting us all to work together. Perhaps a future president will take note of this and add Custer to the NSC and actually tell the rest of the NSC to stop acting like kids.
Gratz to all!
"top Announcement, below" ... this made my head spin ...
Custer is in fact, THE MAN!
EXCELLENT as always. Someday I hope to win one too...
Shouting as always, and you have a permanent link in 16 Shells.
Keep up the good work with the challenge coins. It's always good to see an organized group putting down damage for our allies. 🙂

Thanks for putting this together, George!
@Relorian:
The NSC is actually a pretty legit place. Too bad only HA and Kria participate there. Custer only needs to ask if he wants in the NSC. He's legit.
Don't believe the silly hype about the NSC being evil. That's just Brad's paranoia, haha.
VOTE as always, sub from before.
General Custer you are doing GREAT job.
Hope your RL business won't make you a eRep 2-clicker

@Cerb: Regarding the NSC I was invited to join the room. I did so, was polite and tried to contribute. The next day the SecDef told me I was no longer welcome--certain members of the NSC objected to my presence despite the fact that I was polite, helpful and told i was welcome there. To quote SecDef Alexander Auctorias "They [NSC] don't think you have a right to exist." So much for being a legit place. ;p
Cerb, Custer is trying to do something that highlights the efforts of all fighters. It is a good effort. Why does the cheap shot have to come into it?
I wish we could stop with the accusations. Would make things a lot better.
this... exactly this... even at a low level of bickering... is unacceptable.
President Cerb, consider yourself admonished.
All JCS and USAF members, consider this a warning.
I'll not tolerate ANY bullshit from ANY of you, or I'll take my toys (1000 free Q5 weapons) to some other playground where the kids play nice.
😉
Solution is simple, just give access to NxNW.
On topic, let's smack enemies with those 1000 tanks. 🙂
