Commenting here means 1 entry into the contest. Give it a go and spread the word across our military community.
I can't wait to see who the 5 winners will be! Have fun with the eMOM contest and thanks for supporting our troops.
Oh great!!! what a nice post on love. Thanks for providing such a nice article. Wish u Happy Valentine's Day. It would be great if you elaborate it more.
I LOVE our troops and their families. I'm an army brat (step-father was active Army guard) and we were stationed at the Pentagon in the 80's. Whenever I sign off on Twitter, I always say "pray for our troops and their families" because without our brave service people, we wouldn't have the freedom topray as freely as we do.
Thanks for hosting this contest! I'm @BearTwinsMom on Twitter.
Warm regards,
Michelle aka The BearTwinsMom
This is wonderful - already posted and twittered it. Thanks!

Good luck getting the word out!
Hi! I am a Marine Corps wife and an Army sister, and I think this give away is fantastic! I follow you on twitter (http://twitter.com/astonesthrow) and just joined your facebook group as well.
Awesome to see so many folks getting in the spirit and participating. This is going to be a great giveaway and we'll have a surprise for EVERYONE who leaves a comment!
My husband is an Army veteran, and my big brother is an active Army hero. Unfortunately, his MO requires clearance, so we can't know what he's doing or where he's at, so we can't register him to get letters of encouragement.
If you know an active hero, please register them in lieu of Kelly!
Great idea Crystal! Don't forget you can blog this for more entries to win.
Spread the word!
I registered with eMOM!

I Dugg it up; I Stumbled Upon it; I fount it Delicious; and I posted it on Facebook! 4 x 3 = 12 more entries - yay!
Retweet! http://twitter.com/3stairs/statuses/1170255458
This is great. Thank you for doing this eMOM!
Sure why not?! I never win these things... but it would be nice to send some anonymous flowers to some special people in my life and brighten their day. Like my husband. Corny, I know, but I think he would be pleasantly surprised...
Now, how I am connected to the military... I am an ex-Coast Guard wife, current Army wife, and my brother and several friends and cousins are in the military too.
That's right Military Spouses! You deserve flowers and so do your husbands.
Here's another idea if you win, you can send them to a military spouse you know who may have a spouse deployed. That is sure to brighten their day.
First - good luck on your project.
Second - why do you not have an email contact address? I would have preferred to do this privately.
Third - you have been careless in your attempts at self promotion on other people's blogs. You left your advertisement on the tribute to a fallen soldier rather than emailing it to me. Really tacky. Really, really tacky.

I'll keep doing my tweets as REPLIES to you so you can easily see them in your replies section.
plus I'll am this to others. just BECAUSE!

Wow--this is so cool! I'm an Army wife. Hubby's a medic & went to Iraq when he was active duty, now he's in the reserves. Incidentally, hubby uses ProFlowers when he sends me flowers every single month on the 11th! (Yes, ladies, be jealous--he's wondeful!)
Anonymous,
Our contact information is on our sidebar and everyone is welcome to use it.
We've been here for our military service members, military spouses, military parents, children and veterans for 8 years now and are proud to share whatever freebies, discounts or deals we get with our military community.
We had hoped that you would see our comment on your blog as an invitation for you and those your blog supports to come over and enter to win some free flowers.
We're so sorry you saw something negative in something meant to help our military community.
Anonymous took the time to hide his/her identity so people wouldn't know what a snark he/she is yet admitted they run the fallen soldier that was visited. That's tacky.
I hope you know that no one is anonymous on the internet.
Three-tweet! http://twitter.com/3stairs/statuses/1171698330
I'm "only" a military family member, and have never served in the military myself.
This is such a generous giveaway. Hats off to ProFlowers. Yay!

Hi! I'm an Army wife-to-be and just joined the Facebook group. My soldier is currently in Iraq for his third deployment.
Nape,
I love how you say "only". You are too much. Wish you luck!
Stumbled and tweeted. Love you! Love this give away idea.
Since my cousin went to West Point in 1998, I've gotten a crash course in the military, and how to best love and support them. We enlarged our military family with my marine brother-in-law, and I've got several close friends in the military. Since 2003, I've been writing and sending packages to friends, family, and friends of friends and family who are deployed, and I just love to support our men and women in uniform!!
Kristen, Todd & Lindsay,
How wonderful to see you all here! Best of luck in the contest.

Thanks again!
Keep up the great work! Thank you and thanks to all of our soldiers and veterans, from one of the vets! I retweeted the contest at @lesarver
I was in the military

My grandfather was a tank sergeant army. My father and uncle were in the airforce. Several of my friends are currently serving in various branches. I would say that I have a lot of love and respect for people who choose to serve our country. Any and all support for them is a very important thing especially in today's world.
SO great to see so many folks participating and supporting our troops. Spread the word. There's 5 gift certificates available!
My husband is currently in the Air Force (27 years!). Therefore, I'm a military spouse with two military brats at home.

I've done two tours in Iraq with the US Army and I appreciate what you all are doing for my fellow soldiers.
I'm so thankful for our troops and their families. It is such a huge sacrifice on their part for our freedom. A close friend of mine is without her husband for the next 6 months while he is deployed in Afghanastan (sp?!). They have 3 kids and so I've been trying to help her out as much as possible.
thanks for the giveaway

Thank you for stopping by, for your comments and for entering to win. We wish you lots of luck!
Thanks for being a part of and supporting the military community.
It's a beautiful gesture and I support your efforts! Will retweet too!
Great site! Thanks for all you're doing. I've been "adopting" Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors for over 2 yrs. I send cards, letters and care packages for the duration of their deployment to brighten their days and remind them of the good things at home. Highly recommend www.anysoldier.com!
What a great idea! I'm the mom of a son who is serving in the Army. He's already served in Afghan and Iraq. He'll be getting more training this year, so he's back in the States. He also just got married a few months ago to a beautiful young lady.
Thanks for all the work you do!
Christy,
That's what we do too. We've been around a little longer than Any Soldier (our inception was 2001) and we're the first organization to step in after force protection concerns forced the cancellation of Any Service Member mail. We hope you'll give us a try too!
Mary Rose,
Congrats to you and your son and new daughter-in-law! We're wishing you all the best.
Hi everyone. Son of a Vet of the Vietnam War, grandson of a Vet of WWII. We have several friends who have been mobilized, and are home, and one friend who is in Iraq now. Keep up the good work and God Bless our men and women serving our country!
