High Ranking Diplomat Returns to Troopathon

AMBASSADOR JOHN R. BOLTON CONFIRMS
PARTICIPATION IN TROOPATHON 2012

We’re extremely excited to announce that Ambassador John Bolton, former Bush Administration official who was legendary for his tough diplomatic style, that always put America first, has graciously agreed to participate in Troopathon again for 2012.

Trooathon is a huge event that we do once a year to support our troops and raise much needed funds for care packages to send to the troops over in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, it seems that in recent months support for our troops and their missions is waning.

The media is all but ignoring our men and women serving in Afghanistan. You no longer see the stories of their heroism on the nightly news. We can’t allow our troops to be forgotten. This year’s theme for Troopathon is “NEVER FORGET our TROOPS” because we are fighting to remind the American people that our troops are still at war, while the rest of the country is at the mall.

Ambassador Bolton, ever the expert when it comes to the threats against our nation posed by hostile foreign dictators, is the perfect addition to the Troopathon. His expertise reminds us about the threats America faces from around the world.  There are even whispers that Bolton could be Secretary of State under a future President Romney

We may have grown complacent in recent years, because the media and the Obama Administration have downplayed the significance of the War on Terror. Obama’s domestic agenda, programs like Obamacare, and rampant spending on social experiments distract us from the OTHER threats leering just outside our attention span.

IRAN’S MISSILES

Iran, Syria, North Korea, these are just a FEW of the possible threats we may face, according to Bolton, not to mention the continuing war in Afghanistan, and the delicate peace in Iraq, and the frightening instability in Egypt threatening to boil over.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton says it is definitely in America’s interest to see the Assad regime collapse in Syria but he recommends no direct U.S. role at this time.

“I don’t think President Obama understands the significance of everything that is going on in the Middle East,” Bolton told WND.

Bolton scolds the Obama administration for making many concessions to Russia on missile defense and other issues but failing in every way to end Russian support of Syria and Iran.

Finally, Bolton assesses the latest developments in Egypt, where he says there are no good options.  He says the military and Muslim Brotherhood will likely find a way to work together and that anything close to a representative democracy won’t be a reality there anytime soon.

US Olympic Hero Joins Troopathon

“COACH K” BASKETBALL LEGEND AND COACH OF US  OLYMPIC TEAM SUPPORTING TROOPATHON FUNDRAISER

Move America Forward is proud to announce the participation of an American sports legend who knows and appreciates our troops more than most, “Coach K”, Mike Krzyzewski.

Trooathon is a huge event that we do once a year to support our troops and raise much needed funds for care packages to send to the troops over in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, it seems that in recent months support for our troops and their missions is waning.

The media is all but ignoring our men and women serving in Afghanistan. You no longer see the stories of their heroism on the nightly news. We can’t allow our troops to be forgotten. This year’s theme for Troopathon is “NEVER FORGET our TROOPS” because we are fighting to remind the American people that our troops are still at war, while the rest of the country is at the mall.

This will be the third time that Coach K has helped us out with our Troopathon. Coach K’s military background and support for the troops and our nation in general, motivated him to make this video in support of Troopathon!

In 2010, Mike Krzyzewski became a four-time National Champion at Duke University, adding to his impressive resume, which includes induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.

Coach K got his start in basketball as team captain of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point basketball team. After serving his country as an Army Officer, ascending to Captain, he resigned in 1974 to begin his coaching career. From 1975-1980 he was Head Coach at West Point before moving on to Duke, where he has spent the past 30 years.

In 2005 he was presented West Point’s Distinguished Graduate Award. He currently serves as head coach of the U.S. National team, winning a Gold Medal in 2008 and restoring honor to the National team in the process.


COACH K and 2008 US Olympic Team Brought Home the Gold!

Not only does Coach K instill the lessons he learned from his days of service, appreciating the value of teamwork, dedication and sacrifice, he continues to share a profound appreciation of the brave men and women serving their country.

That is why he graciously accepted the opportunity to send a message of support for the Troopathon.  We couldn’t be happier to count Coach K among the many supporters of MAF that know how important our mission supporting the troops with care packages is.  Please watch the video and join Coach K in supporting our troops with “Love Packages” through Troopathon V – Never Forget Our Troops
