What is all this stuff about witnesses? Well, these are the folks that make STEEM possible. They are the nuts and bolts of STEEM! These folks are the block producers, in other words every transaction, post, comment is dependent upon their equipment to be completed.
The equipment, or servers used to accomplish the production of these blocks is very expensive as well as time consuming to monitor and ensure everything goes smoothly. Many of these witnesses, although they do receive a little to recompense them for their investment in this equipment, operate in the red. They do this because they believe in the STEEM platform.
The witnesses I list below are all military Veterans from all around the world. They do a great deal and spend a great deal of money and time in making the STEEM Community a great place for all of us. They gave of themselves to their Nations and are continuing to serve by making STEEM a wonderful platform for all of us.
Won't you take a moment to show your appreciation for these witnesses' personal sacrifice? If you click on the name below their Avatar, you can immediately vote for them via STEEM Connect. Your support of their efforts will be greatly appreciated.
@sgt-dan some great recommendations there.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the importance of witnesses.

Good stuff @sgt-dan! There are 3 witnesses on this page I did not even know existed!
I am glad that I could be of service sir!
Have you considered all 138 active witnesses?
If not I highly encourage you to do so, for example, @humanheart is a witness but it has a very low rank (134) you may have missed good witnesses if you haven't studied all 138 of them.
All rewards from this comment will go to charity
Thank you for letting me know. I do my best to keep up with all witnesses. You will see that I vote for a variety of witnesses. Many of the witnesses I vote for I have interacted with.
