OPERATION: TAKE A SOLDIER TO THE MOVIES : was started to improve the morale among the troops stationed in war zones around the world. Soldiers in war zones literally had “nothing to do” when not working. This is a way of providing them with a “Saturday Night at the Movie” experience. Each movie package to the troops contains:

· Letter of support from the donor with their mailing address · New or used DVD · Artificially sweetened powdered drink mix packets (no tubs) · Movie theatre style candy (no chocolate) · Microwavable Popcorn

“On behalf of the 7/158th AVN REGT, I would like to thank you very much for the movies. They are very well appreciated. The soldiers could not believe that the folks back home would send movies and candy, they are used to getting foot powder etc. We are forming a movie library now thanks to you, the soldiers here are combining the movies in the morale tent and you can come in and check one out anytime, they are also putting in some of their own. We will pass this on to the unit that replaces us in 2006. The candy and the popcorn was really a big hit. You actually feel like you are at a movie. I can’t say thank you enough. Thanks to your organization, for a brief time (during movie) we are not here. Enclosed are some pictures of the soldiers.” SSG George Bowyer

To reach more of our military, we need help with the following:

ü Pass the word of this project to family, friends, businesses, church groups, etc. and ask them to do the same.

ü Contribute the items needed to build a movie package.

ü Make a cash contribution to help buy the contents needed for a movie package and/or costs of shipping.

Thank you again for all that you do.
Sincerely,
