With the 3rd Annual Mashable Awards entering the voting round today, two major Supporters of Our Troops have achieved a Top 5 status in their categories!

In the Best Non-Profit Use of Social Media category, we have @ThankASoldier who has steadfastly campaigned for All Troops, even when he was told it "couldn't be done."
