Some of these messages will be broadcast on CBS prime time television
and copies will be provided to the U.S.O. and Armed Forces Network
so that they may be shown to our military personnel abroad.
For family members with a valid military ID,
your personal message will be recorded onto a DVD,
for you to send to your loved ones serving our country.
We are proud to provide this service free of charge.
I found this WONDERFUL news on one of the USO Canteen Freeper Style threads - where else? - and thought that it deserved its OWN thread!
Please SPREAD THE WORD,
as this program ENDS SOON: 12/31/01
(If you want OFF - or ON - my (active) "Hugh Hewitt PING list" - please let me know.)

Corporate employees of Circuit City and CarMax expressed support for the U.S. military during a 30-second message videotaped by Larry Gordon at the retailer's headquarters yesterday. The recording is part of the "Message from America" program that Circuit City and other companies, including CBS and Sony, are sponsoring.
The public can go to any of Circuit City's 600-plus superstores to record a 30-second message to the troops. Those messages, plus the one recorded yesterday by Circuit City workers, will be compiled and aired at military installations and as public service announcements during prime-time programming and sporting events.
Also, family members of deployed military personnel can record a free five-minute video message on a DVD disc to be sent to their loved ones. Those recordings can be done at Circuit City stores as well as at about 100 military bases, including Fort Lee and the Norfolk Naval Base. The program began yesterday and ends Dec. 31.
No harm in double posting this, is there? It's small.No harm?!?
YOU were my source for posting this thread!
(Sorry that I did not ping YOU first!)
THANK YOU, Ligeia - for finding this WONDERFUL service!
I just turned into 870 am just to hear Dennis Prager. I missed her.That was an OLD thread... Snow Bunny was on Hugh's show almost a month ago, on 10/31/01.
BUT... that gives me a WONDERFUL IDEA!!!
Hey, Snow Bunny! Can you call Hugh Hewitt AGAIN? (1-800-520-1234)
He DID say for you to call back "in a couple weeks" - and it has been MUCH longer than that!
THIS TIME, though, we will post a BREAKING NEWS thread BEFORE you go on the air!
What does your schedule look like - from 3 to 6 pm (California time) - some day this week?
(I looked at one of those portable DVD players myself but didn't get it - I ended up upgrading my current laptop instead to play DVDs for about a Franklin).
I will freep mail you what days next week are ok and you can pick what is good for you.
