We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone all the best in 2019. Let's make Steem become the dream!
A quick update on some of the things that many people noticed over the holiday season; Many may have noticed that we promoted some of our posts and our posts were at the very top of the "Trending" page! This was made possible with two loans from @jackmiller. Apart from letting it be known that we exist and that we are active Steemians, we managed to achieve a lot more. The promoted posts were: [Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays](https://steemit.com/veterans/@shadow3scalpel/merry-christmas-seasons-greatings-happy-holidays) @shadow3scalpel & [@UMVbot - Military Veterans of Steem - Upvote Bot - Update - 15 December 2018.](https://steemit.com/veterans/@umvbot/umvbot-military-veterans-of-steem-upvote-bot-update-15-december-2018) [@UMVbot - Military Veterans of Steem - Upvote Bot - Update - 23 December 2018.](https://steemit.com/veterans/@umvbot/umvbot-military-veterans-of-steem-upvote-bot-update-23-december-2018) @umvbot
We did our community proud, apart from wishing everyone all the best for the season of joy, we went the extra mile and made sure that our sincerest wishes were noticed by everyone out there. One of the best known Steemians even delegated a heap of SP to our umvbot and a BIG "THANK YOU" to him for that!
As for the finances, the power down takes 13 weeks so that we can take care of the financial side of things, at the end of the day, our two accounts made a few Steem (SP) at the end of the calculations, so it all worked out for the best. All transactions are on the blockchain, in the wallet of the above listed accounts, so it is all transparent, open and public.
If there are any questions, please forward them to @jackmiller.
Once again, wish everyone all the best in 2019. Signing out for the Vet community, @jackmiller
