    Thank you for hosting such a beautiful contest and giving us such a wonderfully inspiring prompt. Congratulations to all the winners. I consider everyone who wrote for this contest a winner, God Bless you all and may the Lord be with all those who still have our backs rather they be serving actively, retired or supporting those who are serving or have served. And may God bless America!
