What is Operation Supply Drop?
Operation Supply Drop (OSD) is a military gaming 501(c)(3) charity
designed to build video game filled care packages for soldiers (America
and Her Allies) both deployed forward to combat zones as well as those
recovering in military hospitals.
Now you might be asking yourself, "wait a minute .... how
the heck does giving video games to the troops help them?" You've got to
remember the ages of these men and women who are serving us. They've
grown up with gaming and games promote teamwork and camaraderie, as well
as help combat the stress and boredom that comes with a deployment.
I've never been much of a fund raiser type of guy, but I know with your support, you can help me raise a simple personal
goal of $500.
I'm also impressed with Operation
Supply Drop's mission. It started with one man and a simple crazy idea, but they
now have a much bigger goal to help the troops after deployment. Read
about it directly from the website :
As
the United States and her allies end of formal combat operations and
continue the full transition of authority to the Afghan government
scheduled in 2015, OSD will also transition from wartime to peacetime
support of the military. This involves increased on-base activities
stateside, further supply drops to peacekeeping and humanitarian
missions worldwide, as well as OSD's newest initiative, the "Thank You
Deployment" (kicking off mid-2014).
In
the future, OSD will continue to act as an intermediary between video
game developers/publishers and the United States military, working with
soldiers leaving the service, into adult education programs to
facilitate them into entry-level gaming developer jobs.
So join me in helping our troops. Thanks!
One Team, One Fight!
