Hello,

We have selected The Warthog Pen for our Patriotic Website Award! Our editors editorially selected websites we felt were extremely Patriotic, and we wanted to honor you with this award. We have reserved this award for the web's most Patriotic websites, as determined by our editors - for those we felt were most patriotic. We were in awe of your 24 years of service in the Air Force and the great content you have revolving around it. Thank you!

If you'd like to place the award on your website, we've supplied you with the instructions on our award page: http://www.vahomeloans.net/patriotic-website-award.htm. At the end of the month, we'll be sending out the list of sites we selected to veteran customers - we believe it'll be a great resource for them to see.

I hope you have a great day - and thank you for honoring our country and it's veterans!

Regards,
Jessica Anderson

I know it's a marketing ploy but they are VA approved and it seems harmless what do you guys think?

I'd weigh the +/- Yes, they are looking for some free advertising out of your website, but what is the plus for you?

Not much (if any) I guess just a ego boost and it (the banner) would look good on my site.

As long as you don't have to \"sign\" any kind of agreement for a minimum length of time that the banner is up, sounds like no real harm.

That and if it makes you feel good, by all means go for it, and a hearty Congratulations from here.

But hell, I thought your site was good even before the award.

Thanks guys for the kind words. There is no agreement or anything, I can put it up tomorrow and take it off the next day so..yea I think I will put it on the site. Little self indulgence I guess.

You deserve it brother! You have a great site.

Sorry if I came off a little negative at first. Guess I'm just a grumpy old man at times.

Not at all, I asked for your opinion and you gave it to be. I know I can get honest answers from you guys when I ask a question and that's important.

I was looking for a VA home loan and that sight came up and I didn't trust them because they weren't .gov I'm afraid they'd try to trick vets into thinking they are the VA when they are not.
