Help Cheer Up A Hero
Posted: 6/8/2011
Entertainment, for an hour or two provided by a DVD, is frequently the only diversion American troops overseas can look forward to for weeks at a time. (NAPSI)—Even the greatest heroes need to relax now and then. For U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, however, quality, safe entertainment is, at best, difficult to get. Traditional activities such as baseball and softball games are at a high risk because of IEDs, snipers, mines, bombs and other terrorist activities. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology and good-hearted citizens, they can get entertaining DVDs.
Patriotic Americans can donate new and used DVDs to be shipped to the nation’s fighting men and women. The DVDs will be available at all bases in Iraq and Afghanistan for the entertainment of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines.
The aim of the project, known as AMVETS Task Force DVD, is to ultimately have hundreds of titles in rotation at each base.
To donate, you, your agency, club, organization or business can send a new or good-quality used DVD to AMVETS Task Force DVD, 1395 E. Dublin Granville Road #222, Columbus, OH 43229, or call (877) 726-8387, ext. 4031. |
