HERO ANGELS CHRISTMAS TREE - SEND YOUR HERO PHOTO NOW TO HONOR YOUR FALLEN HERO !
Current mood: thankful
HERO ANGELS CHRISTMAS TREE - FANTASTIC EFFORT by "Ask Mom KL (Kathy L of California)" !

(Address at the bottom of this blog...)A Proud Firefighter Mom, "Ask Mom KL" (click on her she is No. 1 in my Top Friends here on Myspace, or see the tree banner on the left side of my Myspace page) puts together a fantastic effortin Southern California.

A huge outdoor Christmas tree, adorned with photos of our Fallen Hero's, as a tribute to honor the men and women in uniform. Whether these brave men and women wear the Firefighter, Law Enforcement, or Military uniform, each is a HERO ANGEL. All have taken an oath to Protect and Serve, each doing their job yet touching the hearts of so many. Often, they may not hear the "THANK YOU" of those they have helped however, we will NEVER FORGET. This is a huge effort on her part, and you can get your own Hero Angelsphotos on her Tree ! Just mail them in to the address at the bottom of this blog. This weill be the Third Year, and she wants her Tree filled with more HERO Tributes than ever before !

Her HERO ANGEL Tree is a tribute that proudly displays HEROES from all over the world sent by those that want to ensure their HERO is remembered. In 2006 she first decided to have a HERO ANGEL TREE to pay tribute to our Firefighters, Law Enforcement, and Military. The tree proudly displays pictures of men and women in uniform. The tree is wired with my song, "HERO ANGELS ," which I am so very proud she uses. Her 2006 and 2007 trees displayed pictures from military personnel that served as far back as 1923. Some pictures are of HEROES that paid the ultimate sacrifice while doing their jobs, and lost their lives. Others are Veterans, Retirees, and of course many that are currently working in those professions today.

HOW TO GET YOUR HERO ON THE 2008 HERO ANGEL TREE *

Need more Exposure? Why not try Squidoo?

Squidoo is one of those places where you can make a "lens" to bring more exposure to your music, group, videos and tell people a little about yourself.

Once you create a "Lens" it doesn't take much to keep it up. It's a little more limited than myspace and facebook (there is no music player) but it does help expose you to others and gives you another search engine to work with. They have a Cafe Press, Amazon, eBay, Twitter, iTunes and so many other links that you can use to enhance your sales. It was made by blog guru "Seth Godin" and of course it has it incentives, lol.

Here are a couple that I have made:

http://www.squidoo.com/artistoftheday

http://www.squidoo.com/missingchildren

Over the last 2 years, many have been made and the exposure is immense. To find out more about how to make a lens and make a couple bucks, use my referral link and then add yours in the comments to this post :) You will not get rich but it does add a couple extra bucks to help with some costs, lol. Let others be exposed to your music, videos, merchandise and so much more :)
