HERO TO HERO CAMPAIGN COLLECTS 300+ SHIRTS FROM OPFFA

The last group of speakers on Tuesday June 10th left quite an impression on everyone.  The delegation from the Hero to Hero Campaign were present to speak about the campaign to have Police and Fire Fighters give the shirts off their backs for our military personnel.  They collected approximately 300 shirts from across Ontario which was presented to them by the convention delegates.  This combined with the shirts collected by the Toronto local earlier in the day brought the campaign half way to their goal of 2,000 shirts.  Liz Jackson who represented the delegation gave a unique address by illustrating a US Rangers tradition for those giving speeches.  The person gives their address with one had in a bucket of ice water and they can only speak as long as they can leave their hand in the water. 

An autographed US army shirt was presented to President LeBlanc along with a limited edition of the Director’s pin from the Hero to Hero campaign.
