Gifts of Music, Movies, and Books For The Coast Guard
Woman's World magazine's Help A Hero campaign is asking people to send iTunes and Amazon gift cards to the Coast Guard Foundation for the holidays.
On October 14, Woman’s World magazine launched a "Help A Hero" campaign, asking readers to send donations of iTunes and Amazon gift cards to the Coast Guard Foundation, which will then distribute them to units across the country.
The gift cards will allow members of the Coast Guard to download books, videos and music to their iPods and Kindles.
“The men and women of the Coast Guard work tirelessly to protect our shores, so knowing that regular Americans are grateful for their service is a wonderful gesture,” said Coast Guard Foundation President Anne B. Brengle in a statement on the foundation's web site. “These gift cards are a small token of appreciation for all that the heroes of the Coast Guard do.”
