The entries we received were from the heart. They were all so good and heartfelt, that we added an extra prize-- it was clear to us that a 17 old wanted to honor his father on Father's day. Jordan Rodgers will win $50.00 compliments of the Sisters of Savings to give to his father.

The winning entry was from Cindy Miller ...
If my dad could get a night of rest. Staying at the Nylo Hotel would be the best.
Away from the four years of pagers, crime and wakeup calls.
Riding in a limo, he would have a ball.
This Fathers Day gift would make him feel like a king.
Eating steak at Ruth’s Chris would be his thing.
My dad everyday makes a big splash.
If I need him, he is there in a flash.
My policeman dad is an American hero.
He chases criminals and makes the traffic flow.
He saves people in tornadoes and fires.
He seems to never tire.
Creating a charity for police widows, he is so good.
Building a playground for the poor, he is like Robin Hood.
Even when he was seriously ill last year, he went to all my games to see me score.
Working extra jobs to pay for batting lessons and helping me with my homework, he is the worlds’ best dad and deserves an evening out so he could stress no more.
My dad is up for two days at a time with shootings and crime.
As the Arlington police spokesperson, he is on call 24 hours a day and never gets to rest for a long time.
He tries to help others whenever he can.
He gets the criminals and helps people when they are sad. He is the man.
He takes the bad guys to jail.
He tries his best and never fails.
He loves God and his family.
And protects the land of the free.
As a dad, he is my coach and always shows love. That is the key.
He always says he loves us. Because in his job, with his life, there are no guarantees.
My dad works hard to provide for me.
To tell him this good news would make me so happy.
This part of the nomination is from his wife.
I first met my husband in the middle of the night.
Telling me that my first husband had died, I thought things would never be right.
As his training officer, he wished he had been the one to die.
After a year of police ceremonies, it was still so hard to say goodbye.
Through everything, I grew to love his giving personality, sense of humor and smile.
Creating a charity memorial golf tournament, he always goes the extra mile.
Because he is selfless and caring, my first inlaws consider him their son.
We all know he is a treasure and truly number one.
He named our son Craig, after the man that brought us together through love and grief.
To finally have our cute baby was such a relief.
He makes me laugh and truly spoils me with surprises too.
With our kids, I love how he plays with them, he really knows what to do.
At home, he kisses hurt knees and wipes runny noses.
And never forgets our anniversary with many a rose.
At home, he makes grocery store trips and attends practices to see our kids score.
Taking care of sick kids, he never says housework is a chore.
Blake is my Prince Charming, giving me a second chance at life and love.
My life is so full and fun with my perfect mate, I have been twice blessed from up above.

I would like to nominate my dad for this wonderful adventure to the luxurious NYLO hotel. First i would like to say my mom is an active member on her so thanks to her i found out about this contest.
My dad is constantly working from the house trying to take care of me. He has recently been very stressed and i have been getting the heat from it. I would just like to be able to take him out for a night of unstressful fun. He would love the food and a great limo ride. Especially staying at the NYLO hotel.
Sunday being Father's Day i am very behind on finding something special to do for him and with him. This would be perfect because of my young age (being only 17). I dont have much money so this would be a big help.
Thanks for your time SOS.
