Merry Christmas (http://twana.vox.com/library/photo/6a00d41440059a685e0109d0f64b34000f.html)

About a week ago I was asked by a Solider in Afghanistan what I thought about doing a blogtalk radio show for the troops. A show that the guys who are way from home this Christmas could send in messages and have them read, request songs and hear greetings from home. Instantly I was smiling. One I was thrilled with the idea and two honored that those who are serving would ask me to be involved. They had already contacted one host and I was able to help bring 2 other shows on board with this project. I want to thank the man who’s idea this was, Cpt Kevin, for not only thinking of this but for involving me. Please if you can join us… it should be a fun and touching evening.

Three Blog Talk Radio shows are banding together to air a six hour Christmas show that is all for the troops. Chandler’s Watch (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Chandler), Buffman and Wrench (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/buffmanandwrenchshow) and Do the Right Thing (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stations/HeadingRight/cyberpastor) are going to broadcast back to back to back on Monday December 22nd starting at 6pm CST for our men and women in Iraq, Afghanistan and any of our military who will not be home with family this holiday season. The show will include music, guest and reading messages from and to the troops.



We have a special email address set up for the troops to email a message to their families to us that will be read over the air (internet). Christmas4troops@yahoo.com (All emails will be deleted after the messages are saved.)



We will also have some celebrity guests coming on to send a message to the “guys”. Not meaning to drop any names but so far we have:

:) Sure - That would be great. Some websites I could make it look much better for example: Humbled Infidel

I'll be putting another together in just a few minutes for white background sites. If you have another design in mind, that would be ok too.
