September/October 2009
Dear Friends, Fellow Entertainers & Thespians:
I am writing today to request your participation this November 11th, 2009.
Every year America comes together on Veterans Day to gather in a spirit of gratitude and remembrance of those whove given so much for our great country. We as fellow Americans are indebted to the brave men and women who have served valiantly to preserve our right of freedom. Because of them, our families can sleep safely at night. Because of their bravery and sacrifice we are free to pursue the American dream. They do this thing without hesitation, they serve without question, they wear these uniforms so proudly for you and for me. They have fought and continue to fight many wars around the world to defend democracy and our God-given right to self-determination. Whether or not you support the war, these courageous men and women risk their lives everyday to defend our right to a peaceful existence and liberty for all, and for this – they deserve to be honored with an enormous expression of gratitude! This November 11th I am asking you to join me, along with SOS Support Our Soldiers, Inc. in The Every Penny Counts campaign to thank our nations soldiers. We are reaching out across the land and asking everyone to get involved by making a tax-deductible donation and/or to request your Live participation by calling into the Broadcast or sending in your pre-recorded message to our Troops, to be aired during the 24 hour Broadcast. Please join me in this wonderful cause to unite the country in a spirit of awareness and embrace those who have given all. Let’s make this Veterans Day one to be remembered by saying, you are not forgotten – we appreciate you.
