*** From Blake Powers:
Ned,
Last fall, the opportunity arose for me to do embed reporting with U.S. and Allied troops literally around the world, for Blackfive online military magazine. While there are advertising/sponsorship opportunities for that, I want to let you know about a Kickstarter project I am doing in regards the Normandy D-Day ceremonies this year. While next year is the “big number” anniversary, the D-Day survivors are fast leaving us. I want to go over and cover this year in hopes of documenting those who can still make it over. I want to capture pictures of them, and maybe some of those memories they care to share, and document that while it is still possible. The project is at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1001302942/normandy-2013. Anyone interested in the advertising/sponsorship opportunities can contact me at blake@blakepowers.net.
Thanks.
