Press Release Summary = Wear jeans to support the troops!
Press Release Body = Los Angeles, CA -- 4 The Troops, a 501(c)(3) national
non-profit organization supporting the troops since March 2003, is asking America to
show their Red, White and BLUE Jeans to support the troops! The national project
calls for employers of America to designate a date between October 1st and November
30, 2005 to encourage their employees to wear jeans to support the troops. In
return, their employees will donate $5.00 to wear jeans and the total proceeds will
be donated to 4 The Troops so that they can ship morale boosting care packages to
deployed and wounded U.S. troops this holiday season. 4 The Troops’ goal is to have
every state involved and represented.
4 The Troops was founded by California resident, Anne Galvan, in March 2003 when the
war in Iraq flooded the airwaves. The sight of soldiers covered in dust and sleeping
on the grounds inspired her to do something to help them. She started a project she
called "4 The Troops" dedicated to letting our American servicemen and women know
that America cared and supported them. That inspiration quickly took off into a
national campaign, supporting thousands of troops deployed worldwide with care
packages.
Being the sister of a Desert Storm Veteran, Galvan knows all too well the importance
of supporting the troops and being there for them. “We have thousands of troops on
our list, many of them are deployed for the first time and others are serving second
to third tours in the middle east. This project is an easy and fun way to inspire
and unite employees of America to show their support in honor of the young men and
women serving our country thousands of miles away from home,” says Galvan. “The
troops have the toughest job in the world and they need to know that America still
cares about them, especially during the holidays when they are so far away from home
and regardless of political beliefs” adds Galvan.
4 The Troops is calling out to employers of America to encourage their employees to“Show their Red, White and BLUE Jeans” to support the troops and to join them in
this national effort to make this holiday season a success for both the deployed and
wounded U.S. troops. To join this national effort, complete an application through
