Donate Games to the Troops in Iraq
News | February 6, 2008 9:11 am
Checking out cheapassgamer.com I found a great promotion they have started: Donating used/new videogames to our troops over in Iraq. Here is the info, posted by CheapyD:
"No matter your stance on the war in Iraq, I think we can all agree that our soldiers have a very rough time over there. Therefore, I am very happy to bring to your attention the CAG "Donate Games to the Troops in Iraq" Campaign.
"CAG neushane, who is a member of the US Navy and is currently deployed in Fallujah, is spearheading the effort to collect your used (or new) games, and distribute them amongst his fellow troops.
"Please send your game donations to:
SK1 Shane Neuhaus
30 NCR DET 1
FPO AP 09381-1702
"Current generation games are preferred. Postage should be similar to shipping to most other USA destinations.
"Once your games arrive in Iraq, they will be photographed along with their recipient. We've got a Flickr gallery showcasing the current haul.
"Wombat and other CAGs have already started sending some games over and I'll be shipping out my donation this week. Please join us in the official thread for more details and discussion."
The direct link to this posting, and links to other info can be found here. Their flickr gallery can be found here.
I think this is a great initiative, our brave men and women in Iraq at the very least deserve some decent games in their downtime.
