Winner: Trent Lytle
Trent joined SOFREP in 2016 giving his reason for joining as follows,
“My main reason for joining was to support a Veteran-owned business. My second reason for joining was that SOFREP was delivering content no one else was. They cover subjects that other news outlets, including some military-oriented ones, missed or glossed over. The in-depth articles are very informative. The writers and the community are great. Lastly, I liked that SOFREP was geared towards Special Operations. There is little information out there about them and this site has filled my need for more information.”
“Some of the articles have caused me to shift my points of view on some subjects and others have helped me understand the world around me a little better.”
Winner: Keith Watson
“Since I was a kid I’ve been a news junkie. More importantly, I’ve always loved all things military. I was the kid with the Army and Marine Corps stickers on everything fully intending on joining the military. I must have watched Navy SEALs a thousand times. However, I’ve been playing guitar since I was eleven and my dreams of playing music for a living pulled me in a different direction. I graduated high school in ’93, so it was a hard choice for me. Keep playing in rock bands or join the military. A decade later I started questioning my choices. Anyways, I never lost my fascination with the military. Combine that with my love of reading and what’s going on in the world, and SOFREP was exactly what I was looking for. The place to read about things I wasn’t seeing in the mainstream news. Things that were so important to me. For the past 20 years as a CAD/CAM Programmer, my interest in military news has only grown stronger. “
Winner: Holli Brook.
We reached out to 3rd prize winner Holly Brook and asked her about joining SOFREP and how she signed up new members;
“I joined SOFREP officially last year in October but I had signed up for the Pro-Crate subscription in December 2018 as a Christmas gift for my husband. I am a civilian and a stay-at-home mom. I home-school my two girls. Enjoy spending my days in the garden, and do a lot of pressure canning. My family enjoys all things outdoors. My husband works for a veteran-owned and operated company and I felt SOFREP was a good way to sponsor a great cause. I have enjoyed reading all the articles put out by your great writers and Brandon always makes me laugh with his crazy life stories. I won third place by interacting with fellow SOFREP members and sharing news articles.”
The winner of our currently ongoing Sweepstakes will be rewarded with his choice of either a brand new iPhone 12 Pro 128GB or Samsung and Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 128GB.
