armed forces: Thanksgiving - THANKS to the HEROES for GIVING!
- 11/25/09 07:42 AM
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday, but it reminds me not only of family and friends but of the heroes that will be working on Thanksgiving. The ones protecting our neighborhoods, our healing our families and our serving our country.
As you sit around the table ready to pray for the blessings you have - remember those who "have not." But also remember those who are there ready to respond if tragedy finds your door. Durning the holidays, find a way to thanks a hero. For they will be there - ready to help you or your family.
Give thanks for your community heroes.

armed forces: Veterans Day Handshake
- 11/05/09 06:08 AM
Honor America's veterans for their patriotism and willingness to serve our country
Veterans Day comes and goes and few of us take the time to really reach out and say "Thank You." Few of us realize what they have gone through to protect our freedoms and our families. Many Vets won't even talk about the terrors of war and wouldn't claim to be a hero. But they are - all of them, past and current Military personnel.
So on, November 11th, seek out a Veteran and shake their hand. Thank them for their service to our country. They'll feel good … (2 comments)

armed forces: Fall Back Time - I don't think so...
- 10/29/09 06:11 AM
Fall is the time of year of harvest, stowing things away and hunkering down for the winter. The old phrase of "Fall back and Spring forward" is a reminder for our clocks and smoke detector batteries. But too many people take the phrase "fall back" in the fall too literally!
Fall should be a time to spring into action and set a new course for the coming year. This is the best time to look at your business and make adjustments. What elements of marketing your business"worked" and "didn't work" during this last 10 months. January is just around the corner. The proverbial … (4 comments)

Keep our Fire Fighters in mind this week as we collectively remind ourselves how to keep our families and our homes safe from fires happening. There are many little things we can do so check out their website (www.nfpa.org) and apply the knowledge to your homes and your customers homes too.

armed forces: 9/11 Anniversary Salute to Fallen Heroes
- 09/08/09 10:47 AM
This Friday will mark another anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. As when JFK was shot, or any other fateful day in history, we will look back and remember how we were affected on that day and the days that followed.
The image that sticks in my mind was the dust coated civilians running away as the Emergency Workers, Fire Fighters and Police ran toward the chaos. Some of them never to return alive. And later the brave troops that defended our country then and now.
Homes for Heroes program was created right after 9/11 by a group of Realtors as a … (2 comments)

Homes For Heroes was created by a group of Realtors after 9/11 as a way to give back to the Military, Police and Fire Fighters in the community for risking their lives to protect our country and communities.

armed forces: Our Hero Fire Fighters Hand Shake
- 07/10/09 03:45 AM
I was reading an article the other day and was surprised by this statistic - in 2007 118 Fire Fighter died in the line of duty in the USA. Of those 118 heroes 62 of them were volunteers. This is why we must pay tribute to these heroes in our communities. They are often overlooked. We stare at the expensive shinny trucks they use to put out the fires and save cats - but how often do we stop to realize that when it really counts - they put their lives on the line to save our properties and families.
