Check out the NEW H2H Journals!

There is soooooooooo much that goes on in the HeroToHero.US effort, that oft times it is not appropriate to post over something that should be up for more that just a day or two.

For that reason, we have created the following Journals, to coincide peacefully with this one.  Each serves a different purpose, and we hope you will check them all out and please feel free to send a comment or two.  *Sometimes the counters reset themselves magically and we really have no idea how often they are being viewed.  We removed this Journal's counter after it kept resetting and made it look like we had been read 12 times in three years.  Grrrrrrrrrrr ... lol

So check them out, and feel free to share them or send any inputs/corrections to us.

 A Moment of Silence, Please                                                                                        So many send us notices when they lose someone from their unit/department/family, and ask us to share the info.   It's not always easy to know who to, or not to, send the info to.  This Journal was created so you have a place to find that info, and post messages or thoughts for lost Heroes.

You can send your inputs to us and we will post, along with photos and messages ...                               http://journals.aol.com/patrioticpastime/a-moment-of-silence-please/

It's Official ...
Want to know who is participating in the HeroToHero.US effort ... Or see some of the faces from the department who sent you your shirt?  Here ya go!
 
Go to the main site www.HeroToHero.US and look in the "Downloadable Flyer" section.  You can print off the flyer and pose for your department.  Get creative, and make sure that Troops would be able to tell where this department is.  Send us the photo and any messages, we'll post them here for you.
 
BadAss Heroes ...
This is one of my favorites!  It has become tradition to get several shots when we visit departments.  Used to be we asked firefighters to "drop top" to prove they would truly give the shirt off their back for our Troops. (Okay, we still do that on rare occasion)  But now we do the ... Kids cover your eyes ... BadAss shot.
 
It is done at every stop now.  If we haven't visited your department yet, feel free to get this one and send it to us along with your shirts for the Troops ... REMEMBER, the Shirt Drive is on!!!  Directions for this one are right on the Journal itself.
 
We may also post the citations (We "ticket" law enforcement ~ the fine?  A shirt for the Troops, of course!) ... cuz the Cops don't get out of this one without some fun, too!  Or, who knows, we may start a journal for this one, too!
 
And lastly ... Stuff You Send Me ...
Despite requests not to get a lot of "stuff" in my inbox that does not pertain to the H2H efforts, it happens.  And on occasion, some of it is worth sharing.  But I rarely forward these things.  So here are some of the highlights of those that caught my eye.
 
Enjoy ... And we NEED those shirts!  When the PackOut happens, we will post the events, including the after-party "An Evening of Heroes".  More to follow.  But a hint ... IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF YOUR DEPARTMENT'S PIPES & DRUMS ... We would love to hear from you right away!  HeroToHeroUS@aol.com

Regarding your hit counter problems?  I have twice now been able to reset my hit counter when it 'went wacky' on me, by following the steps from the AOL Journals Editor blog listed here

http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/2005/09/20/using-file-manager-to-fiddle-with-hit-counters/622

I will say it's a bite in the shorts, to do all that...and sometimes I have to redo it several times before it 'takes' and I have no earthly clue why or why not,lol.

And as always.....you guys rock :)
