Maybe grateful to not have me as a spouse but grateful to have me teach cqc to those deploying to war zones.

Besides here's what had to happen before my daughter was nominated to be a finalist in this group:
She is the 2012 National Guard Bureau Volunteer GOLD Award recipient. The GOLD Award is the highest award the NGB gives to civilian volunteers. One person per year is selected from each State and US Territory.
The Texas acknowledgment of this honor will take place March 24th in Austin at the National Guard Association of Texas/State Family Programs conference (where she is already scheduled to teach two classes).
She will go to Washington DC to receive the actual National Award.
This is not the same or associated in any way with Military Spouse of the Year. The NGB Family Programs Board of Directors selects individuals based on the merits of the nominations.

I guess a manufacture's rep would not want to have a contest as to which attachment was the best for food plot clearing or what type of trailer should one use to pull a skid loader or what type of tractor is the best for 10 acres or less now would they. That might lead to a contest vote from anyone providing an opinion, but then again I could be wrong since I didn't set the rules as to what is or is not a contest and whether or not an opinion is or is not a vote for a particular point of view.
