Operation: Take a Soldier to the Movies was started in 2004 by parents of a soldier stationed in Iraq. Even though their son isn't there anymore they are continuing the program "as long as there is someone else's son or daugher in the war zone and the people back home want to help support them and show them we care about them".

Folks are asked to donate:

• Letter of support from the donor with their mailing address


• New or used DVD


• Artificially sweetened powdered drink mix packets i.e. Crystal Light or Kool Aide (no tubs)


• Movie theatre style candy (no chocolate)


• Microwavable Popcorn


• Funds to help ship the packages (PayPal accepted)

Whatever your feelings about the wars, think of how you would feel if you were over there, or if your child were. Again, this is a more concrete way of showing support than the magnetic yellow car thing :-)
