-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
THE U-S-O IS PARTNERING WITH CHEERIOS, TO
SEND THANKS AND SUPPORT TO OUR NATION'S MILITARY-FAMILIES--WHO SACRIFICE
WHEN THEIR LOVED-ONES ARE SERVING. SPECIALLY MARKED BOXES OF
CHEERIOS NOW FEATURE "CHEER"-POSTCARDS: SIMPLY CUT OUT THE
PRE-ADDRESSED CARD, WRITE A MESSAGE ON THE BACK, ADD A STAMP, AND MAIL
IT. THE U-S-O WILL DISTRIBUTE THE "CHEER"-POSTCARDS TO
MILITARY-FAMILIES. SLOAN GIBSON IS THE U-S-O'S C-E-O...
(GIBSON):
"WHILE SENDING A MESSAGE OF THANKS IS A SIMPLE GESTURE, TO THESE
FAMILIES, RECEIVING A 'CHEER'-POSTCARD WILL BE A WELCOME-REMINDER THAT
OTHERS CARE. IT'S AN EASY WAY FOR US TO TOUCH THE LIVES OF
MILITARY-FAMILIES. ANOTHER WAY [THAT] SENDING 'CHEER' HELPS
SUPPORT MILITARY-FAMILIES IS THAT--FOR EACH POSTCARD [THAT'S] RECEIVED
FROM A SPECIALLY MARKED CEREAL-BOX--CHEERIOS WILL DONATE ONE DOLLAR, TO
THE U-S-O, FOR PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT [BOTH] OUR TROOPS AND THEIR
FAMILIES."
(CLOSE):
CHEERIOS HAS ALREADY DONATED 150-THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND WILL DONATE UP TO
AN ADDITIONAL 100-THOUSAND DOLLARS, TO THE U-S-O--BASED UPON THE NUMBER
OF POSTCARDS RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 30TH, 2012. FOR MORE
