We take the simple act of going to the movies for granted, but for a U.S. soldier stationed overseas spending two hours watching a movie is a rare treat.
So let’s applaud Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for donating 5,000 DVDs to Wounded Warriors and active military families this weekend. The home video company will bring its “Million Moments: Great Moments, Great Causes” mobile van tour to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center tomorrow.
It’s the sixteenth of 18 planned stops to deliver one million disks from the company’s catalog. But the charitable effort doesn’t end there.
Military families will get the chance to recreate their favorite movie scenes as part of the tour. Participants, who will have access to hair, makeup and wardrobe available within the van, will be filmed against a green screen.
, and the Million Moments tour van will double as a dressing room complete with hair, makeup, and wardrobe. Check out the website at: http://greatmomentsgreatcauses.com
The event, to be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bethesda, Md. facility, will be closed to the media. The tour’s last two stops are Philadelphia (Nov. 12-13) and Boston (Nov. 19-20).
