Norval Joe's Story for week 60 is going to get special billing this week as a Special edition due to the American holiday. It is not just on this Holiday that we should remember our men and women in uniform, but this a good reason to call attention to them.
Thank you Norval for the permission to play this weekend.

1. All stories submitted must be based on the weekly topic and in before the posted deadline at midnight. (your local midnight is fine)
E-mail the text story (pasted into the e-mail) to me at GreatHites at gmail dot com along with a recording if you want it added to the podcast.
2. Stories must have a maximum rating of PG. If you want examples of my strongest violence or most suggestive language read / listen toRun For your Life, Adam And Eve. or Going Down with the Ship And yes, I get the final say. Hey it's my site I make the rules.
3. Stories submitted should be between 100 -3000 words, any shorter will get lost in the fray, any longer and it will drown out the other works, and as I said in rule number 2: Hey it's my site I make the rules.
4. Protecting your hard work. I know some sites don't do this, but I will do my best to protect your work. My entire site is protected by creative commons, I think it is worth your time to license your work, head out to the creative commons site get a license and paste the html code at the end of your story in the e-mail and when it gets posted I will include that. This is the one rule that is not hard and fast I think if you have worked hard on something you should protect it, but it is your call.
Winning the Prize:
Winning the prize is simple. You have to write a story that is step one. Step two, you have to win that week's weekly voting. Step three you will be put into the winners circle, at the end of the month, for a special podcast and the another round of voting. The winner from the Winners circle will win the prize. (I wonder If I can use win in that statement a few more times.) And that is it. Have fun folks.
E-mail the text story (pasted into the e-mail) to me at GreatHites at gmail dot com along with a recording if you want it added to the podcast.

Norval Joe's story was truly awesome! I left right out of high school at seventeen to attend army basic training, turned eighteen at Ford Gordon in Augusta Georgia and was on my own from then on. I was never called upon to fight in a war during my service though I would have in a heartbeat. What Norval Joe's story illustrates with resounding certainty is the price for every American's right to choose; what to say, how to dress, the manner in which to express ourselves, where and how to live and every other decision that we all as americans take for granted in our daily lives has been bought and paid for by unimaginable sacrifice by our fellow citizens past and present. The story is a microdrama of the same scenarios that play out unseen and unheard every day in the states allowing all americans to be exactly whatever they want, in most cases, without lifting one finger to earn such luxurious freedoms. The story is exemplary Norval Joe. God bless America and God bless the servicemen and women who do what they do to help keep america the land of the free.
