KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 18, 2007--Just in time for Veterans Day on November 11, the VFW has unveiled a new online contest to honor veterans.All members of the public are invited to participate by creating a video honoring any U.S. military veteran. Prizes include a trip for two to Orlando, Fla., courtesy of Southwest Airlines Vacations, two Nintendo Wii systems, and gift cards to national retailers.
"Millions of Americans have a friend, family member, or loved one who is a veteran," said George Lisicki, VFW national commander. "With the 'Honor a Veteran' contest, they can now share that respect and love with the world. Regardless of a person's stance on politics or the war, our veterans deserve to be honored for their sacrifice and bravery. This contest gives everyone the chance to do just that."
The deadline for the contest is Nov. 3, 2007. Winners will be announced on Veterans Day. Videos will be judged on creativity, originality and how well they honor our nation's veterans.
The contest is being produced and promoted through the AIMS (Accelerated Interactive Media Saturation) program offered by SiteEDGE Agency, an interactive marketing firm located in Kansas City.
