Sharen, raise your right hand.

Wednesday, the 25th, our outgoing mascot, young Miss Sharen SHertz was inducted into the Washington State Army National Guard, in Lakewood.  She is the second H2H mascot to get sworn in, to be a guard member. 

Sgt Watts (great guy) and his team have been amazing supporters for the effort.  They are always there for us when we ask.  Watching them deal with the future recruits shows they are not just ticking off numbers, they remember these troops afterward and will mention good things about them when they see photos of them in uniform later on.  They make our events more special, and fun.  During the swearing in we all end up laughing during this most serious moment in our mascots lives.  So far, the mascots have joined no other branches, but rumor has it that there is another military branch checking out Sharen.  We'll see.  But yes, the WA ARNG was the first!  ( ;

Hmmm. looks like she will be doing a "DITY" move to get out to Columbia SC, where she will live in the CFD Fire Museum.  She is getting herself all "purtyfied", so she isn't making it to many photo ops ... A gal's gotta get her rest, ya know?

Sharen has been a great gal to play with, not as ornery as SHertz Forda Troops, but a real little sweetheart!

She'll be at the roll out for "Hannity's Crossing", and will be teaching our new mascots Chief & Rookie the ropes.
