Laptops for Flat Tops Contest!!

I have some cousins in the military and my husband does also. As a matter of fact, his dad is a retired US Army soldier. (His license plate frame even says so.) I am sure if they had this type of technology available in the 70's it would have definitely made life a little easier for my in-laws when my father-in-law was away from his family in another part of the world and that's exactly why I am promoting this contest. I have an absolute and total respect for our US soldiers and their families. How can you enter to win?

Here are all the details and links you need, good luck and let me know if you end up winning!!!

Leading e-tailer hosting Laptops for Flat Tops contest for military families to improve communication with loved ones serving overseas

Taken from the All American Direct website:

Would a brand new laptop and webcam help you keep in touch with your husband, wife, son or daughter, mom, dad, brother, or sister?

Would a brand new laptop help to improve your quality of life, especially since an important contributor to your home is now serving our country overseas?

Submit a 400 word essay below, telling us your story of need, and detail why your family should be picked out of thousands of Americans to win this month’s laptop.

You may also submit an entry by going to http://www.youtube.com/group/laptopsforflattops, joining our group, and submitting a one minute video. When you submit your video, please remember to begin it with your name, and then submit an entry to www.allamericandirect.com/military with the words “see video”, so we can send you your laptop when you win!

The prize package includes a laptop with a built-in webcam, as well as an additional webcam that can be sent to your loved one who is serving overseas.

If you win, you will be contacted by our executives, and a laptop will be sent to your door!
