The Gorge Heroes Club's, Operation "Day In The Life Of A Military Gnome" has begun! Over the past few weeks, GHC has made contact with our hometown heroes stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan and letting them know of our fun filled Gnome contest. All units are reporting that they are "ready" for the mission! Each vying to outdo the other units!
Here are the details of the contest:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter a photo challenge with the Gorge Heroes Club Combat Gnome other prizes for your unit.
Twelve gnomes will be embedded with Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine units at duty stations across Iraq and Afghanistan. You will be competing against these units for the grand prize or a second or third place finish, which will provide your squad, team or platoon with extra snacks and supplies.
To qualify a photo, you must follow these rules of engagement:
1) Don't risk your life for your gnome; the mythical creature is replaceable and you are not.
2) You must name your gnome and that name should be included with every photo (please number them) that is submitted by your unit.
4) Creativity is a plus in this assignment so feel free to portray your gnome in combat settings that are both real and fictitious but grounded in reality. This includes any awards that your embedded gnome has earned, i.e., decorations for valor, etc. You should also truthfully state if your gnome has been subjected to disciplinary action.
5) All photos should be submitted to GHC by midnight (Pacific time) on Sunday, July 31, for consideration. If your unit is in the process of returning to the states so that prizes cannot be mailed, they will be furnished to your base so the tournament can take place there.
6) Your gnome should be inherited by your replacement unit and these Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen or Marines should be notified about how to contact GHC for eligibility in future competitions.
We hope these gnomes will help you find some enjoyment during the hot summer months and boost the morale of your unit. We also hope that they bring you luck during the times when it is most needed.
Be well and know that you are greatly appreciated by GHC and this is our way to show support for the sacrifices that you are making on behalf of a grateful nation. Let the fun begin!
Proudly,
Your GHC
