Operation DVD For The Troops In Iraq & Afghanistan
Operation DVD is a nationwide venture that gets DVDs, CDs, and Video Games to our troops overseas.
Safe entertainment is a concept that is difficult at best for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even baseball and softball games are no longer possible because of snipers, mines, bombs and other terrorist activities.
Operation DVD is an appeal to Patriotic Americans to donate their new and used DVDs which will then be shipped to our fighting men and women overseas.
Operation DVD facts:
Libraries of DVDs will be established at all bases in Iraq and Afghanistan for the entertainments of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen
and Marines.
Our goal is one million+ new and used DVDs donated by the American Public.
Most bases have a reinforced recreation room equipped with a Television and DVD player. Similar facilities exist on ships. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines (with portable DVD players) will also be able to check DVDs out like a library book (and then return them for another). The project is to ultimately have 200-250 titles in rotation at each base.
This may be the only safe entertainment some will have on their tour of duty.
“Children Titles” donated will be distributed to Servicemen’s families (Stateside) through the Family Readiness Group(s) of the National Guard.
Help us provide safe entertainment for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
