One of the newer items to come about is www.HonorTheirSacrifices.com. It was started by a Lt. in Plano Tx. After he saw what happened, a few of his fellow workers started discussing what could they do to make a difference in the Fire Service. In August of this year they launched their own website and are currently looking for state and regional coordinators from across the country to help collect information. They are a non-profit organization with there main focus on creating a database of all the LODD's in the last 25 years. There will be summaries of LODD’s and they will be stored on one database, not links to somewhere else. They are also going to create training materials focused in three areas: Administrators, Chief Officers, and Firefighters. The president was on ISFSI Podcast a couple of weeks ago and mentioned again last week. It going to be a great program and for people involved in Everyone Goes Home, it follows Initiative #7, data collection system.
