Thank you, Monty. We'll miss you! Thank you for all that you have done for this contest and our community over the years! *Salute*

Let's give Monty a great last month - honor him by entering a poem or story this month.

There are extra incentives from Sung'manitu Author IconMail Icon and me here: "Note: News feed challenge - Let's make this a reall..."
🌻 pwheeler ~ love joy peace Author Icon - I know you've capacity to do something better. There is no doubt about this. But
Monty Author IconMail Icon set an example to us. We definitely miss him.
I am looking for someone to take over the "Honoring Our Veterans - Challenge" Open in new Window. Group. I get here about every day at this time but my age and health issues are telling me I need to do too many things. I took it back again and yes I love it, have two note books full of contests held but if I dont get someone to take over it is going to just set in limbo after this month.

So sorry to hear of your problems. Wish I could help but sadly am not able. You have done an exemplary job for quite some time and I will be saddened to see you give up this job.
If you don't get someone else to volunteer, and don't mind it being converted to a challenge instead of a contest, I can take it over. I don't want to see it disappear.
🌻 pwheeler ~ love joy peace Author Icon - Will remember that.
Do you think I could get a few more entries in the

Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah! Happy Kwanzaa!

Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods

Kwanzaa is observed for seven days, and there is a different value for each day: On each night, a candle is lighted to observe the nguzo saba, the seven principles of Kwanzaa: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity) and Imani (faith).

The candles include one black, three red and three green. The colors red, black and green are important to Pan-Africanists. Black represents “the people,” while red is for the blood spilled in the struggle for liberation, and green for the future of Black liberation.

I will try my best.
I'll have an entry submitted this week.
I would enter but I m ignorant of the proper workings of most things here. My aged brain doesn't get all the "IT" stuff, I'm lucky that I can add to my portfolio.
Old or new, up to you.

My Tribute to Captain Leland E. Payne 1947-2015 US Army Vietnam

https://www.writing.com/main/forums/message_id/3609066

He was 10 years my elder, my brother-in-law but closer than a brother. We've fought each other. Camped, hunted, rode horses, roller coasters together, drove race cars and He taught me how to drive a stick shift.

We visited every Revolutionary & Civil War battlefield park from Georgia to Maryland!

I miss him dearly.
