And thanks go to all those who have shared the project of "ensuring that the" culture of defense "is not a niche phenomenon but a reality that can be enjoyed by all, without partiality or prejudice".
Of the nearly 50.000 readers who follow us on social networks I cannot name the name, I can do it for the adventure companions who, each according to their possibilities, have contributed to making Online Defense an independent reference: Fernando Termentini, Franco Iacch, Monica Palermo, Giovanni Caprara, Alessandro Rugolo, Giuseppe Sfacteria, Denise Serangelo, Andrea Pastore, Francesco Bergamo, Andrea Strippoli Lanternini, Daniela Lombardi, Giovanni Di Gregorio, Giuseppe Calabrese, Daniela De Chirico, Salvatore Pappalardo, Nicolò Marangoni, Marco Valerio Verni, Ciro Luigi Tuccillo, Elisa Di Benedetto, Roberto Colella, Villi Lenzini, Carmine Savoia, Andrea Troncone, Mauro Mellini, Alessandro Scuro, Sara Notinelli, Gaetano Paolo Agnini, Giusi Cosentino.
I hope I have not forgotten anyone.
The recipe of the newspaper is still the same: to freely treat any topic and discuss it correctly, to the best of one's abilities and skills. It doesn't matter if you are for or against, what matters is good faith and the ability to accept - I speak of debates on facebook ... - the honesty of those who think differently, arguing any intervention or dissent and never offending, because we are all - without exception - victims of decades of silence. Those who do not understand this simple rule will be excluded.
In the 2014 we have largely exceeded the goal we had set ourselves. Since what has been done so far is the 10% of the potential of the warhead, a compelling 2015 awaits us ...
To conclude, I would like to express my personal gratitude to the managers and members of the FFAA press offices who, sometimes courageously, followed the requests for further study and interview.
Good Epiphany!

PS I always invite those who want to share an experience in uniform (even anonymously) to send their contribution to the column "Tales of military life" (racconti@difesaonline.it).
