Hey guys!
Long time, no see! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive (as if someone cared, right
), and let you all know of the progress of Defender's Own. We are still pursuing the project full force, as the response has been nearly universally positive. Currently, we have over 550 members on the BETA test version of the website, as well as 5000+ friends on MySpace. We are also working very closely with members of the Army OCPA to keep Defender's Own accessible on government computers. We are also forming relationships with military support organizations, such as the Soldier's Angels (we are about to become their official Internet communication platform) as well as AZ Operation Military Kids, and the Blue Star Moms of AZ. As you can imagine, the response that we have gotten has been very exciting to this point. I have been pretty much absent from this community due to extreme efforts being devoted to our website. However, I hope to be back in the near future as the weather cools and my time becomes more free.
Anyway, I just wanted to post that update because a couple of you asked me to keep you updated on the progress of the website. Lastly, if you are a part of the military community (active duty, veteran, military family member, or recruit), and you have not yet registered, we would really appreciate it if you would! <shameless plug>Just head over to
www.defendersown.com and click on the Join Now link!</shameless plug>
I hope to be seeing you guys at an event in the near future, take care,
Shane
