2008 Blogworld Expo - Milblog Conference

We are here in Las Vegas and the conference is about to start.

Last night Blackfive hosted a wonderful pre-conference party at The Penthouse Club. Pictures have been locked away for future blackmail efforts. Hahahaha, just kidding honey.

Andi is making her announcements and JP of milblogging.com is about to start speaking.

JP is reading an announcement and playing a video by LTC William Caldwell.
Highlights of the speech:

"...the US is losing the media war. Al Qaeda was posting videos of US personnel being killed in ambushes, to over come the enemies expertise he authorized his soldiers to blog and has required that all Command and General Staff students must blog as a requirement of graduation."

"Our enemies understand that much of the battle is being fought in cyberspace."

"Changing the culture one person, one idea at a time."

"Milblogs remain a great resource for our families."

"Milbloggers are out there telling the story from the lines."

"An informed public is essential, as bloggers you are a part of our democracy."

- LTC William Caldwell
