TROOPATHON SPOKESPERSON DEBBIE LEE HOME FROM IRAQ
Gold Star Mom Spent 5 Days With Troops at Camp Victory

Move America Forward is gearing up for its annual live show ‘Troopathon’ (website: www.Troopathon.org) on July 1st, and recently sent Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee back to Iraq to support & encourage the troops, and bring their testimonies home. Debbie traveled with a small film crew to document her experience there, and bring home interviews of the brave men and woman who have been assigned the task of transitioning security oversight over to Iraqi authorities.

“The stories we captured on film are absolutely remarkable,” said Ms. Lee.  “The dedication of these American troops is humbling, as is their relationship with Iraqi military leaders, who expressed their deep gratitude for the skill and tenacity of US Forces, who are working to restore Iraq to prosperity it had lost under Saddam Hussein.”

Debbie Lee’s son, Marc Allen Lee, was the first Navy SEAL to be killed in action in the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Since that time, Ms. Lee has been a tireless advocate for the troops, teaming up with Troopathon to help bring them some of the comforts of home while deployed.

The Troopathon is an 8-hr live show featuring notable celebrities, personalities, and military personnel such as Sean Hannity, Gary Sinise, Rush Limbaugh, and many others. The Troopathon will be broadcast live from the Nixon Library on July 1st from 1-9pm PST, and may be viewed at www.Troopathon.org.

Debbie Lee is available to the media for interviews. For booking, please contact Levi Russell at (509) 979-6615 or Levi@FrontLineStrat.com.

Mark Levin will Join Troopathon 2010 “Standing for Our Soldiers”


MARK LEVIN JOINS TROOPATHON

CAMPAIGN TO SEND CARE PACKAGES TO THE TROOPS

Celebrities are lining up for Move America Forward’s third Troopathon, which is now barely two weeks away and the excitement is growing every day.  We just nailed down talk radio legend Mark Levin who will be joining the effort to send history’s largest care package to our troops serving overseas.

MAF has already kicked off the presales event to boost the number of care packages sponsored for our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. Radio hosts like Mark Levin, Dennis Miller, Sean Hannity, Rusty Humphries, Mike Gallagher, Mancow Muller and more, have teamed up to assist us in raising the money for these care packages.

Join Mark in supporting our troops by sending
a care package to Afghanistan or Iraq.



Radio hosts, especially Levin, Miller and other conservative talkers like him, have always stood by our troops. Mark Levin has been a voracious defender of our troops, and their missions in the war from the beginning. He has always understood and communicated the reasons why America must be resolute in supporting our troops because our troops are defending us from attack by radical Islamic jihadists.

 “When you [ MSNBC Host Keith Olberman ] attack the American soldier who is on the battlefield, facing down this enemy, while you’re in your air conditioned office demanding caffine-free coffee getting your shoes polished …. Then you pick a fight with all of us, all of us who believe in the American G.I., regardless of party affiliation.”

-Mark Levin on his Radio Show

  Mark Levin took his first prime-time radio slot in 2003 and quickly exploded in popularity, syndicated now on hundreds of stations across the country.

He gained massive popularity last year when he released his book “Liberty and Tyranny” which shot up to the number one spot on Amazon’s best sellers list of all books.

Over a year later, Levin’s “Conservative Manifesto” remains at #1 in political books, on Amazon.com beating out dozens of more recently released books. The hardcover version of the book is still the #3 bestseller, meaning one book is 2 out of the top 3!

We are so lucky to have the support of leaders such as Mark Levin lending their voice to support our troops and to make our July 1st Troopathon a huge success. He knows why our troops are so important. They are doing a dangerous job, putting their own lives on the line to protect us. Don’t forget about them, make a contribution today.

Send Some Care and Comfort to
a Small Group or a Whole Platoon

Inside the care packages are a number of items that the troops have asked for over the years, including sunscreen, Gatorade, deodorant, coffee, cookies and much more. The temperatures are soaring in the Middle East and the Gatorade is very refreshing for our overheated troops, who sweat under heavy body armor and helmets while lugging heavy weapons.

You can be part of this historic effort by tuning into the Troopathon, sponsoring a care package with a personal note, and remembering our troops during the hot summer days.

IRAQ:  U.S. Troops Make Plea to Mother of Fallen Warrior


"Please Don't Forget About Us and Our Fight!"


Debbie Lee, the mother of the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq, has just returned from a visit to Iraq where she spoke with U.S. troops who are still deployed there.




The message they sent was a heart-tugging, emotional plea to the American people:  please don't forget about us and our missions here.


Debbie Lee will reveal the messages that U.S. Troops wanted her to pass along to the American public during the historic 8-Hour "TroopAThon" live broadcast that takes place Thursday, July 1st - 4:00 PM - 12:00 Midnight Eastern / 1:00 Pm - 9:00 PM Pacific.  The event will be broadcast online, over the radio and on television and can be streamed at:  www.TroopAThon.org


The TroopAThon, sponsored by the nation's largest pro-troop organization, Move America Forward, will serve as an opportunity for the American people to sponsor care packages for U.S. troops - culminating in what will be the largest shipment of care packages to U.S. troops in history.


Debbie traveled with a small film crew to document her experiences in Iraq, and bring home interviews of the brave men and woman who have been assigned the task of transitioning security oversight over to Iraqi authorities.



 

“The stories we captured on film are absolutely remarkable,” said Ms. Lee.  “The dedication of these American troops is humbling, as is their relationship with Iraqi military leaders, who expressed their deep gratitude for the skill and tenacity of US Forces, who are working to restore Iraq to prosperity it had lost under Saddam Hussein.”

 

Debbie Lee’s son, Marc Alan Lee, was the first Navy SEAL to be killed in action on August 2nd 2006 in Ramadi, Iraq. Since that time, Ms. Lee has been a tireless advocate for the troops, teaming up with TroopAThon to help bring them some of the comforts of home while deployed.

 

The Troopathon, which takes place in just 7 days, is an 8-hour live show featuring notable celebrities, personalities, and military personnel such as Sean Hannity, Gary Sinise, Rush Limbaugh, and many others. The TroopAThon will be broadcast live from the Nixon Library on July 1st from 1-9pm PST, and may be viewed at www.Troopathon.org.
