PAY A GOOD DEED FORWARD
We know it is not possible for everyone to do a deed as noble as giving their life for their country as have the fallen who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, we want to continue their noble actions by paying their deed forward and keep their spirits alive.
Therefore, PAY A GOOD DEED FORWARD program was created.
HOW DO YOU PAY THEIR GOOD DEED FORWARD?
Either:
1. Start a token program
2. Order a token online and Pay it Forward
3. Receive a token from someone else who is paying it forward to you and then Pay it Forward
4. Donate directly to Ross A. McGinnis Endowment Fund

HOW THE TOKENS WORK
Each veteran has an unlimited amount of tokens available with the goal in mind to pay them forward. As good deeds are done from person to person across America in honor of their veteran, they are saying their veteran's name, telling their veteran's story and keeping their veteran's spirit alive. So everyone can see how many lives have been touched by their veteran's initial good deed, our website is set up so anyone receiving or paying forward their veteran's token can log in and tell how they paid forward their token or received their token ...or how someone did a good deed forward to them.
Each token will have a journey as it is paid forward and the veterans name and story is shared between the giver and receiver of the token. There are two types of tokens for each veteran. Tokens with unique codes (i.e. FDSA3, 5NTRC) and tokens with only stars at the bottome of them. Look at the side of the token the veteran's picture is on. Below the veteran's picture you will see either only stars or a unique code (it is a unique code containing at least one number and the four letters).
Step 1. The recipient of the token is to log in (use link at top of page), use code as the password and tell the story of how they received or paid forward the token.
Step 2. Then they pay a good deed forward and pass the same token forward and tell the story of the veteran on the token.
As each person logs in and tells their story, the journey of each token will show how the veteran's initial good deed has spread to touch so many. Read the story of the journey each token is taking. The stories from person to person symbolizes you and me paying their good deed forward. We are all connected.
WHAT IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A VETERAN'S TOKEN?
There are two things you can do right now!
1. If you have not received one of the unique veteran's tokens, you can still pay their good deed forward by ordering an All Star Veteran Token of your choice. You still log in and tell your story, but it will be one continuous story of everyone who has your veteran's All Star token. You will be contributing toward two priceless goals:
- Name recognition for your veteran, and
- Helping to raise awareness for helping veterans who are facing their own unique challenges (PTSD) returning to their homes and families. Through awareness
Our goal is to raise $1 million
to aid veterans and their families whose lives are disrupted with PTSD. Ross' parents have helped Village to Village Foundation develop the Ross A McGinnis Endowment. Together we have created a means to provide assistance to veterans who are experiencing challenges returning to their once normal lives. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is real and we all will be affected by this regardless... Your tax deductible contribution will make a difference by spreading the word "We are all connect", just like Ross' selfless action demonstrated to the world.
OR
2. You can also GET ON BOARD and start your train of good deeds for a fallen veteran by sponsoring a token program for a fallen veteran. We will start ten (10) unique tokens and 20 All Star Veteran Token in their name. Do you know a veteran you want to honor? Pay their good deed forward. Contact us now for details on how you can begin honoring them.
