"Op DVD Kid" Provides Entertainment for Troops
Above is a picture of Zach Cohen of Yardley, Pennsylvania.
Zach got involved with
Operation DVD while searching the internet to find a suitable "mitzvah project" in preparation for his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. When he stumbled upon the
Operation DVD website, he knew he had found his match.
As someone who loves to hang out and watch movies with his friends, this effort proved to combine the leisure activities he loved most, with something he thought was very important –
supporting our Troops.
"The soldiers do so much for us and for our country, and I want them to get to enjoy whatever free time they have. I can hang out with my friends and watch a movie or listen to music whenever I want, but our soldiers aren't so lucky. Not only are they fighting in a very dangerous place, but when they have some time off, they don't have much to do. Hopefully,
Operation DVD will make their free time more enjoyable and will make them realize that we really care about them and appreciate what they do", Zach explains.
"The best part about this effort is that people don't have to dip into their pockets to help. After you watch a movie once or twice, are you really going to keep watching it? That movie can be enjoyed over and over again by many soldiers, if you just donate it to
Operation DVD."
"The best places to organize collections are anywhere where there is a lot of repeat traffic – such as places of worship, office buildings, health clubs, libraries, etc. Schools have made a huge impact on this effort and more and more are getting involved everyday."
Zach has already
collected over 3,000 DVDs for our Troops (even his local Honor Society has become involved). He is now in the process of working with other school districts and his Congressman.
A big round of applause for Zach Cohen!!!!!!!
We need to continue the
Tradition of Entertaining our Troops.
They can't even play baseball because of snipers and land mines.
But we can donate DVDs for them.
We sponsored "Collection Boxes" to be located across America
to collect new and used DVDs for our Troops.
You too can help!
