Here's your chance to "nominate" an ordinary job (military or civilian) to become an honorable hero - accountant? engineer? One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash. This giveaway is open to all readers. Comments are open through Saturday, August 11, 10 pm in Hawaii. I'll post the winner on Sunday, August 12.
Mahalo,
Kim in Hawaii

ReplyDeleteI have to go with nursing and especially in the military.
ReplyDeleteThe moms out there, my best frien a mom for the second time, whoo

Kimh
Hrm, not really certain. Engineers rarely gets touched on. The ones who do the grunt work, putting things together, fixing things that are broken down. That seems less glamorous position I guess.

Hey Kim, thank you for sharing the information and pictures. Tossing it out for Signal folks and Quartermaster (that would be my hubby and me-lol) for the army.
ReplyDeleteHugs have a nice weekend aloha and mahalo.
I'd have to nominate teachers. A lot of times they don't get the respect and praise they deserve.
ReplyDeleteI would nominate medics/doctors. They are all heroes but those who risk their lives in the military to try to save others are even greater heroes.
ReplyDeleteKim, I found you. I would like to nominate paramedics and nurses.
ReplyDeleteMedics and nurses in the military. They don't get enough praises IMO.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I really enjoyed meeting everyone.
ReplyDeleteTeachers. My uncle, sister-in-law and older brother are teachers. I salute their dedication not just to teach lessons to their students but help straighten their personalities and values.
ReplyDeleteAN ordinary job that we cannot do it without is that of sanitation workers. They never get any praise.
ReplyDeleteI would also have to say teachers for the same reasons Jane said.
ReplyDeleteTeaachers. Its a job that I wouldn't be able to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Betty! I could never teach full time, especially elementary school.
ReplyDeleteI would say moms and teachers!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and I spotted you very quickly, Kim! I'd nominate Truck Drivers. I have spent the past three months riding with my husband and have learned a whole lot; not an easy job.
ReplyDeletei nominate volunter who are willing to give their time to help people :)
