I am trying to run a donations campaign for my son and his unit who have been deployed to Afghanistan. When they are working they are working very hard but when they get time to rest and recoup there is nothing for them to do so I can't afford to buy them so i am trying to get the boys some movies anybody got an answer for me?

First, check with the military to make sure it's okay to send them movies.
Second, let me know his unit # and their APO address, I can send a couple.

Blockbuster was very supportive of my husband's first deployed unit back in the beginning of the war and they sent a lot of used movies to them.
I wrote a letter on the company letterhead (I was FRG leader at the time) and they were wonderful!
You can also have your son try this link:

Try talking to the people at a BlockBuster, Movie Gallery, any movie renting place; or anywhere else they sell moves. Tell them what your trying to do, they might just donate a few. We need more people like your son, and you, in America.

If you contact the folks at www.anysoldier.com they may be able to help you out with some contact names, etc. Another option would be to copy them yourself, if you or a friend have a computer that can burn DVD's...that way you can fit more than one movie on each disc- rent a big stack of them and spend a weekend burning movies. God bless your son and his buddies!

i'm sure that a blockbuster would love to support a cause like this. from an economic standpoint, it is good business.
explain your situation to them, or write a letter to someone important.
