I think that is an excellent idea! I will start emailing my local media outlets today!
I am also going to start a blood drive in his name. I think since he was a medic he would appreciate that. I have several online friends in other states that are going to try to coordinate one in their area. I can keep y'all posted on that if you'd be interested in helping in your area or even just donating blood in his name.
Excellent ideas, keep me informed.
