#troopathon V: “Never Forget About Our Troops” Airs Live Today

Never Forget about our Troops!
Want to do something that will REALLY help our troops? Join is us in sending support to America’s bravest!

The show begins at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific

There are currently over 130,000 troops still serving in Afghanistan, mostly US troops and some from other nations of the 50-member NATO coalition.

Our troops are serving in some of the most dangerous places to be in the world, where the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies continue to try and destabilize a nation to bring back a safe haven for radical Islamist extremists can train, plot, and launch attacks against the nations of the Western world, primarily the United States.

Our mission is to send care packages to support those brave troops! For as little as $25 you can send support to a Soldier, Marine, Airman, Sailor, or Guardsman serving overseas. Each package contains lots of goodies and helpful items that our troops appreciate, such as coffee, cookies, beef jerky, deodorant, wet wipes and more!

The Troopathon is set to air July 12th 2012
