I decided to take a look at the NMAM participation site after seeing the address in Jen Martinez's entry on the subject. They've got a "MEDIA-NEWSPAPERS, RADIO, TV" list of things to do, which I've partially reproduced in the extended entry. I've removed things that bloggers can't do, like "project crawls, scrolling, and banners on screen", since none of us have a TV station.
* Remind readers, listeners and viewers of National Military Appreciation Month.
* Perform a "military trivia question each day" or "today in military history" and have listeners call in. Coordinate with local retailers who may be willing to donate prizes in support of NMAM.
* Invite local military to discuss their experiences in the military.
* Add NMAM banners to your website.
* Conduct live interviews with NMAM organizers, Shauna at www.amillionthanks.org, or elected officials: Governor, Senators or Congressmen.
* Display the flag as a banner on your website.
* Remember to mention POW/MIA's and Rolling Thunder on Memorial Day.
* Promote The Armed Forces Children's Education Fund, Inc.
As for my end, compliance with several points will be forthcoming.
