I think @bunnyphuphu's answer to my "Why was it called Pork Chop Hill?" question deserves recognition.

bunnyphuphu's answer

Short, informative and to the point, and added a human and emotional twist to it. Nomination dedicated to her father.

I nominate @gno for her well reasoned and well sourced answer to this question:
Is it ever okay to have a beer or two at lunch on a work day?

I appreciated the mix of personal opinion and logic and how she provided an alternate point of view found in several source links.

I nominate the answer from @Geothinkah to the question:

Do you have any famous or at least well known ancestors? I have one sorta because the book/movie Cold Mountain is based on him?

It gives a concise answer, added information about genealogy ( hasn't the internet helped that hobby take off!? ) and some extra information about their blog :) and an image ! very nice

A great Mahalo answer

( not sure how to link the answer better, hope this is right )

@omicron

Without a European Missile shield, what is preventing Russian from invading in Poland and Czechoslovakia and Western Europe?

omicron is a free thinker. I have found his analysis convincing and thought provoking. omicron has answered a number of my military questions with insight.

omicron has been answering questions, none stop, about submarine warfare, eastern shield, and Western Europe with knowledge. I think the omicron level of expertise in the answers should deserve him an "Answer of the Day" award

@lindalstcyr has blown me away with her answer to @jeffhoard's latest history thread!

Who are the most famous figures from the 17th Century?

This is a great mixture of history, criminology, with just a dash of gore for the upcoming holiday!

It's also a stark reminder that throughout history, people in privileged places were getting away with murder!
