In Remembrance, In Honor
Today we remember the American citizens that perished in those cowardly attacks. We also honor the brave emergency personnel and service members all around the world. It’s been nine years since that fateful day and I still get asked if those attacks warranted a war. I am amazed at how many people still don’t get it. We are not over there because of “revenge” or “getting even”. We are over there because Americans don’t stand idly by while human rights are being violated. We don’t simply watch as an entire country is oppressed by a ruthless dictator. Americans stand up. We fight for the principles of Freedom and Liberty our great Nation was founded on.

Dear HeroBox,
We are the Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Georgia. Our secretary, Robert Carter, is a member of the Rotary Club of Griffin. During one of their meetings, a guest speaker spoke to them about HeroBox. Mr. Carter came back to the office and mentioned it to the staff. We are all patriotic and wanted to help our troops. I volunteered to sign our office up online. It was so simple and once submitted I was given the information for our hero. I emailed him immediately asking him what we could do for him. He responded with his list. The ladies in our office all took a part of that list and we put together a really nice package for him. The added touch was the Brownie Troop 256 of which I am a co-leader of made Christmas cards for Soldiers in his Troop. We also added local information about our town, extra magazines and a picture of all of us at the office. We sent the box and he received it a few weeks later. He wrote us a wonderful email thanking us. He was not expecting such a well put together package. This has been such an awesome experience for me as well as our office. We worked together to put something special together for our hero. I am certain he will enjoy the next one.
Sincerely,
Anne Purifoy
USN Retired

We first heard of HeroBox while visiting Stone Mountain on Memorial Day weekend. We visited the booth they had set up and I thought it was a fantastic idea. My boys, ages 13 and 8 thought so also. We sent all kinds of stuff, mostly snacks. My boys helped pick out things to send. It is a great program for a class to sponsor, church group or people you work with. Just a little effort and time means a lot to someone far away from home giving themselves for our freedom.
Thanks HeroBox!

The Major visits Stacey David
We were in Nashville yesterday to film an episode of Stacey David’s Gearz. You never know what to expect from celebrities you admire when you actually meet them in person. Stacey greatly exceeded our expectations. He was one of the coolest and most down to earth people I have ever met. He sat around the truck and talked to us off camera like we were a long time friends. This was an amazing experience for HeroBox that will generate a lot of support for the troops. See all the pics here: http://picasaweb.google.com/myherobox/Project59#

U.S. Military launches major operation aid in Haiti
So often people forget that we are the United States of Awesome. It seems the only thing in the media is negatively spun stories. But what does it tell you about a nation that can dock an air craft carrier and thousands of troops in another country within days of a major natural disaster.
