Watching the news tonight on NBC nightly news, where they spoke about the 172nd Combat Brigade currently stationed in Iraq. During the course of the piece, they quite prominently showed this site -- 

http://www.BringHome172nd.org

I instantly recognized it as a Dotnetnuke built site.  Not the greatest looking Dotnetnuke site, but you can see how quickly it was up, running, and serving its ultimate purpose.

I'm the creator of and administrator for http://www.BringHome172nd.org .

You apparently saw on NBC Nightly News on Thursday (8/17) the broadcast about the website.  They only showed it for about 5 seconds there.

You were awfully quick to notice that it's a DNN site, but I find that the DNN crowd is a pretty gifted gang of folks.

It's DNN 4.0 deployed on virtual servers at GoDaddy.  I use FTP and WebExplorer Lite to have full access to all directories, even though it is a common complaint that you will read that one cannot access the root install folder on GoDaddy.  (That is untrue, though.)

I heard about the re-deployment of the 172nd brigade on July 29th, and using DNN 4 I had the website up and running within three hours after I first learned of this ridiculous mess.

Twenty days later, after filtering up through the media, I had calls from both ABC World News Tonight with Charlie Gibson, and from NBC Nightly News, to do broadcasts on the website.  I wish I had the talents to make it more attractive, but it certainly has served its purpose well.  Thanks to all DNN contributors!
