All, reminder that today is ROUND 1 of Operation Rising Star. Unfortunately, the website is having technical difficulties so the videos of the presentations are not yet available, but voting is open. I just gave my vote to SGT Christiana Ball. I'll try again tonight to see if they fixed the problem so I can view the videos.

Good luck SGT Ball!!

**Due to technical difficulties, the video is delayed. Voting however is now open.**
