Great idea! I'm pretty sure I won't be submitting a video, but I can't wait to see the winners!

Love this concept. I love our organization, and now we can all share why we think that. I'll be posting my video soon. I am also looking forward to seeing all of your videos as well.

The RallyPoint story huh? Yinz guys have a great idea here and a great line of questioning for a set line of answers. I will charge the "powers that be" with this. We have all either contributed to or have been a beneficiary of, great feedback from folks on this site who have had no other agenda other than helping others. While we are a society that want to recognize those who stand above others, we really should recognize those who push folks each and every day. Those are the folks who keep the train moving and while they do not want recognition "by name," they need recognition as a whole. They are the unsung heroes who keep our train rolling...those are the ones, collectively, who push our folks each and every day...

I'm in. Sounds like a fun challenge.

This took me a while to post. I typed in a few things, but then deleted them because I don't want to give away my ideas. Ya'll will just have to tune in and watch for my video!!

Word on the street is that RallyPoint is offering a 1,000 influence point bonus for each contestant's video submission. That's in addition to points earned through up votes on your video. The deadline is two weeks away... are you in?

The 1985 cutoff date makes it difficult for us oldtimers to compete. However I sent a copy of my VA medical card, all I have. I doubt they will make the connection since I had to send it with my phone.

All,

I can't wait to see your videos! I thought the video links would be posted here... did no one submit a video, or are you all just waiting until the deadline so no one steals your awesome ideas? ;)

I didn't have the means to create one this time around. I've been traveling, visiting family and acquaintances during my PCS leave.
