i've voiced my opinion! No guesses who! I hope Steve gets it. He and his family deserve it. Steve has done so much for us and the animals. Gosh i can't help but miss him

I have submitted my vote.
My comment is as follows:

I would like to see Steve Irwin named as "Person of the year" It is long over due. His contributions to the conservation and preservation of wildlife and the environment are exceptional accomplishments. He spent most of his life unselfishly in the pursuit of repairing the damage, and spreading awareness. He worked to create the knowledge that the future of the Global Community depends on this awareness. This isn't a tribute because of his untimely death, but an honor that should be bestowed on a man who has been, "Person of the year", for a very long time. It should actually be a one time special issue called "People of the year" which would include his parents who planted the fire for his quest, his wife Terri, and the people at Australia Zoo, who have spent years sharing and working beside him for the same goal, of which we all have been benefators.

Beautifully said Shanon...as always!

I too put in a vote for Steve!

Thats a lovely message Shanon.I've voted for Steve,I hope he wins "Person Of The Year" he deserves to,it'd be nice for Terri,Bindi and Bob if Steve wins.My Comments were:

I think Steve Irwin The Crocodile Hunter should win "Person Of The Year 2006" He was a very special guy with a genuie love for animals and his family,he dedicated his life to saving wildlife and teaching people around the world "Conservation through exciting education" Steve deserves to be recognised for the great work he did for wildlife and the environment,he changed the world for the better.Also Steve was an Inspiration to us all,he taught us alot about Wildlife Conservation.It would be an honour for Steve's family if Steve wins the award because they also have dedicated their lives to saving wildlife around the world.

I've just put in a vote for Steve, fingers crossed he gets it. He is the person that most deserves it.

Well my friends he does deserve it. If he isn't named man of the year, we will know who the real winner is.

Please be sure to cast your vote.

Well said Shanon,even if Steve doesn't win,he'll always be a winner to everyone on this forum.

Winning the "Person of the Year" ... well that is not really what it is about. Yes, he deserves it and so much more! But, it is more about letting our voice be heard. Letting the world know more about Steve Irwin and his mission. I am increasingly amazed how many people are now saying that they never really knew much about him... perhaps they caught a glimpse turning the channels on the TV.....but now they want to know more. Knowledge and Awareness are steps in continuing Steve's mission. I keep hearing Steve's voice in my head.....

"Gone are the days of sitting back on the long lens on the tripod and looking at wildlife way over there. Un-uh.
Come with me. Shaaaare it with me. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love. My job, my mission, the reason I've been put onto this planet is to save wildlife and I thank you for coming with me. Yeah, let's get 'em".

i have and did here is my contribution
Steve Irwin!
Why because he was not just a show man he was an icon, but appart from being the "crocodile hunter"he was actually a very clever man, he knew his stuff he wasnt affraid to show his feelings he got his point accross and he was commited with pasion to his views of conservation and animals in general, he was a true human being he was also spending all his earnings on making his zoo better and also putting money into conservation projects like WILDLIFE WARRIORS he deserves to win! and grace your cover

Thanks alkady!! I think we need to keep this pushed to the top as we have so many new people who would want to vote on this, and keep the awareness going
