Interviews Debbie Lee
In case you missed it, the Troopathon got a massive boost this weekend when we finally broke into the news cycle and caught the attention of some of those over at FOX News channel. They contacted Move America Forward to get the whole story, and we sent Debbie Lee over to explain to talk about our recent trip to Iraq and promote the Troopathon on live TV!
We need to get this video out and spread the word that the Troopathon is here to show our troops that they are loved an appreciated! You can show your gratitude and appreciation for our troops by sponsoring a care package now by clicking below
Your donation will send a care package full of edible goodies and other helpful items to anywhere from one or 50 troops serving overseas in Iraq of Afghanistan.
Move America Forward is proud to announce two first-time guests for its Third Annual Troopathon, Mike Krzyzewski and Tom Osborne. We are honored to welcome two Hall of Fame Coaches with roots in the military, who know the value of teamwork, dedication and sacrifice.

Tom Osborne served in the Nebraska Army National Guard before starting his illustrious career as Football Coach at his alma mater, the University of Nebraska. For 25 years he built Nebraska into a football power, culminating in three National Championships in his final four years.
He retired from coaching at the pinnacle of his career, being voted Coach of the Decade for the 1990’s and being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

| In April Mike Krzyzewski became a four-time National Champion at Duke University, adding to his impressive resume, which includes induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001. Coach K got his start in basketball as team captain of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point basketball team. After serving his country as an Army Officer, ascending to Captain, he resigned in 1974 to begin his coaching career.
From 1975-1980 he was Head Coach at West Point before moving on to Duke University, where he has spent the past 30 years. In 2005 he was presented West Point’s Distinguished Graduate Award. He currently serves as head coach of the U.S. National team, winning a Gold Medal in 2008 and restoring honor to the National team in the process. |
 Coach K, Team US |
Not only do these two men share a recipe for success in coaching, they both share a profound appreciation of the brave men and women serving their country. That is why they have graciously accepted the opportunity to send a message of support for the Third Annual Troopathon – Standing For Our Soldiers.
The Troopathon is only 3 days away! Please make your contributions now to assure that we have success on the July 1st broadcast!

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.
