The Military Writers Society of America is holding a writing contest. Writers in our group submitted entries several months ago and a panel of judges selected the top eight entries for our first annual People’s Choice Award.
We would like to extended participation all around the globe and would be honored if all of op-for’s readers and their friends and families participated in the voting.
It’s easy to vote. Simply go to our website, http://www.militarywriters.com/2009ConferencePeoplesChoice.html download and read the entries and place your vote. All the votes will be tabulated and I will announce the winner on talkingwithheroes at http://www.talkingwithheroes.com/ on Saturday evening on 10 October.
Please join our conference by voting and getting the word out to as many of your friends as possible.
Here is the last finalist. Take a few moments to vote and tell your friends to vote. We want as many participants as we can get. The more votes we receive, the more prestigious the award will be to the winner.

Way Back Home
One day I dreamt
I woke up in
A peaceful paradise
People laughing, children smiling
No more tears in their eyes
When storm clouds rain
And the levee breaks
And our time has washed away
Chorus
Make the darkness bright
In the heat of night
Tear down these walls in my way
There’s a new day dawning
In a world that’s loving
Open up before it’s too late
Help me find my way back home
Ways that keep me
Bound from seeing
Hope on this horizon
I’ve got no excuse
Sometimes you win or lose
But I won’t give up ever trying
When storm clouds rain
And the levee breaks
And our time has washed away
Chorus
