We have a NEW photo gallery!!!

This is so fresh it still has the new photo smell on it! ( ;

This Blog & our Photo Gallery will work in tandem. So we can give you a "taste" of what's going on, but then we'll get you headed over to see the photos in the Gallery.

Check it out! >>

We were devastated when we heard that AOL was closing their Journals, and when it started happening some serious panic ensued, but ... I am LOVING this new asset to our program.

On the old journal you saw one photo at a time and if you tried to cut & paste it, it came up in a low resolution. You have got to check out the NEW photo options. You can enlarge any photo to 3 times its size! You can see several pix at a time, and you can download so easily now!

I've just gotten started uploading the albums - and there are a LOT of them - so if there are specific pix you want to see, let me know. First up I wanted you to see the faces of the troops deployed so far from home who have already received their Hero Shirts, as well as some of our Bad Ass Heroes who gave those shirts right off their backs! Watch the albums grow as we do ...

If you like this program - SmugMug.Com, and think you might want to use it to start your own albums - I give it a serious thumbs up for fun & ease. But you can also help us out ... There is a 2 week free trial period, then you can get this for just $39.95 a year!

Use "
HeroShirts@aol.com" <<>

Anyway, hope you like it, and please feel free to give us feedback. We love to hear from you. lj

A special appearance at Quinn's

9-20-08 -- Who knew there would be guest stars?!  Now we can neither confirm nor deny, but rumor has it that a You Tube celeb was spotted partying with the firefighters at Quinn's.

Hmmm, could be.  But no facial hair.  Was he just trying to fly under the radar?  He certainly was popular, flirting with the ladies, checking back pockets ... And even leading by example -
Giving the shirt off his back for the troops for HeroToHero.US along with a firefighter friend of his!  Niiiiice!  (Knew I liked this guy!)

Still not sure if you know him?  Check out the You Tube series **Read below "Policeman vs Fireman".  There is an entire irreverent series of these, and most of the firefighting attendees at Quinn's could & did quote the more famous lines.

In any event, he brought smiles & laughter to the evenings of the memorial.  I'm sure we'll see lots more of him & his friends ... And appreciate him stepping up for the HeroToHero.US Troop Morale Campaign!  Salute!

**The photos from the IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial events are all posted below, so be sure to scroll down through the "Practice, Practice, Practice" posts.

As for using the photos ... They are not for commercial use, but if you find any that you are in, feel free to "click to enlarge" them before you cut & paste them for your personal use. 

If you post them on your sites, please just give us credit "Photos by Liz Jackson/www.HeroToHero.US"  Any other uses, please email me directly at: HeroShirts @aol.com

To all, thank you for letting me share this experience with you once more.  Y'all rock!!!
