The Hero Shirt Drive is ON!!!

**To see our photos, double click slideshows on the right >>

"We want the shirts off your backs, please

They remind us of HOME!"

HeroToHero.US is a Troop Morale Campaign, and it's almost as easy as buying a magnet for your car and saying that's enough to show you support them. Want other ways to support them? Get hold of any troop morale campaign - They need you.

Some of you know there was a medical situation that kept me from doing the (inter)national tour this year. Because of this there are some who think the program ended -- NOT TRUE! I'm just having some ongoing mobility issues, so to paraphrase one of my heroes, I need you to be my legs.

We've altered the program. Actually, I think you'll find this to be a win-win. Check it out ...


**IMPORTANT:
TEAM CANADA, YOUR PROGRAM HAS NOT CHANGED!
YOUR SHIRTS GO THRU OUR CANADIAN AMBASSADOR;

Kevin McHarg <<>




The NEW & IMPROVED HeroToHero.US program!!!

You will now be sending your shirts DIRECTLY to the troops. We'll play "matchmaker" between your departments & the troops. We just need you to pledge up.


Troops are already asking to get hooked up this year - (We just got an Engineer group making a request) The sooner you pledge, the better the chance that we will get you set up with a "local" unit. It doesn't matter if it's 1 shirt, or 1,000.


HeroToHero.US in 6 easy steps ...

1. Remember our Fallen Heroes, our Wounded ... & all of our deployed troops
2. Beginning September 11th pick out one of your CLEAN, (new/like) new department
logo’d shirts
3. Write a message to a troop on your shirt (Silver sharpies work best on dark shirts)
4. Attach your business card/contact info
5. Take shirt to your department & add with the rest of your co-workers
6. Total that number of shirts for the troops & then fill out the
HERO PLEDGE FORM


*
OPTIONAL (But a really nice touch!) Take a couple photos of your group with their shirts. The classic shot is done by holding the shirts in front of you with the biggest logo side showing. (Showing bare shoulders behind the shirts is extra points!) Send them to us at HeroShirts@aol.com for posting for the troops, so they can see which hometowns are participating.


Worried about shipping costs? Set up the ONE SHIRT/ONE DOLLAR campaign. Everyone brings in their shirt & $1 to cover shipping. C'mon, check out the faces of the troops out there who have already been a part of this during its 5 year run. Over 25,000 shirts to date.


As always ... NO POLITICS - NO PRO/ANTIWAR STANCES - NO BORDERS TO OUR ALLIES
