Citation: "Congratulations. Attached to this email is our "Gold" award.
. . .
Thank you very much for applying for our award and giving us the honor of evaluating your site.
Laudation: This site is the personal site of a former soldier, and self-described "economic and social conservative, Republican, Teamsters union member, moral traditionalist, pro-life, NRA Benefactor Life Member, Secular Humanist atheist" and the site explains/outlines his position on many of these areas and how he got there. While some may not agree with his views, he does have a right to them, freedom of speech, and the right to express them on a personal site. Through his prose, grammar, etc. this site reflects that the web master is highly educated and has arrived at his opinions through self-revelation, observing his surroundings (and mankind) and his own unique experiences. The site itself is easy to navigate, and while it is somewhat basic in design it is pleasing to the eye. The site meets all the criteria of our web program to be upgraded to a "Gold" award. Congratulations!"
Awarded: 11 March 2011 as an upgrade from Pelaqita Persians Award: Bronze
