A Sea Cadet in TN started a grassroots program to send entertainment to the service members overseas. She had the opportunity to talk to service members about their deployment experiences while she was at USNSCC recruit training. They kept telling her that "they were desperate for entertainment and what little they did have they had seen or heard so many times that they were tired of it." She thought of all of the CDs she didn't listen to anymore and asked friends and family for theirs. To date, over 6,000 CDs and DVDs have been collected and distributed. The Sea Cadet in TN receives 2-3 requests a day from overseas
This cadet has allowed my Sea Cadet unit to be an Illinois satellite for her program. My cadets are collecting CDs, DVDs and video games that will then be sent overseas. If anyone wants to send some discs for inclusion in the shipments, I will be using the mailing address for the reserve center we drill at. Monetary donations will also be accepted to offset the shipping charges. The address is:
US Naval Marine Corp Reserve Center
US Naval Sea Cadet Corps
7117 W. Plank Rd.
Peoria, IL 61607
The website for the program is www.tunes4thetroops.20m.com
The goal is to send 500,000 by December 2008. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.
Thanks.
