Heroes for Heroes
"IMA Hero" has entered into a joint effort with the Armed Services YMCA at Naval Medical Center San Diego to form the "Heroes for Heroes" program. The program will distribute 15,000 IMA Hero Teddy Bears to children of military families who are enduring the deployment of family members or the return of an injured loved one from the war zone. The stuffed toys are named for historical heroes who faced challenges in their lives like Florence Nightingale, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin. For more information, visit Heroes for Heroes website or contact Diane Malowney, owner of IMA Hero, by calling 858-453-5789 or e-mailing diane@heroesforheroes.net.
Guard Monitors Websites and Blogs
Ten members of a Virginia National Guard unit may be watching your website or blog. The Manassas-based Virginia Data Processing Unit has activated a team in July for one year to scan official and unofficial Army Websites for operational security violations. The team, which works under the direction of the Army Web Risk Assessment Cell, Army Office of Information Assurance and Compliance (AWRAC), notifies webmasters and blog writers when they find documents, pictures and other items that may compromise security. For more on AWRAC or to request a courtesy scan of a blog, go to the team's Website on Army Knowledge Online.
Mailing Overseas for the Holidays
Stars and Stripes reports that military customers are being urged to observe the holiday shipping deadlines set by Army post offices in Europe. The deadlines are Nov. 18 for space-available mail, Dec. 2 for parcel-airlift mail and Dec. 9 for priority and first-class letter mail. Individual locations may have restrictions on what can be mailed to their country based on a host nation's wishes or logistical reasons, so senders are advised to check before mailing.
