A month has passed since our historic telethon, “From the Front Lines,” and Move America Foward is still packaging and sending goodies to our troops. Volunteers have come from all over California to our packing headquarters in Sacramento where they work for our troops.

Troops, who are laboring under extreme heat in Iraq and Afghanistan, are taking time out of their days to write thank yous to the Americans who gave so generously.

“Thank you for the great box. It was shared with soldiers in my unit,” wrote SFC Alan Bair. “It’s great to know we have awesome support back home. We all know that you take time ou of schedules for these.”

Bair is on his fourth tour of duty in Iraq. It is the least we can do for him and all of our service members who protect us.

The June 26 telethon - which included participattion from Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Dr. Laura, and other luminaries - and was hosted by Michelle Malkin and our own Melanie Morgan - raised $1.5 million for packages to send to our troops. This week alone MAF will send out another 15 tons of packages.

“We are humbled and esctatic over the success of the telethon, and by the generosity of our volunteers who everyday give of themselves because they love our troops,” MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan said. “We could not have done it without all of the people who appeared on the telethon, our volunteers, and the generous Americans.”
