The Military Channel Seeks Personal Videos

The Military Channel asked us to help them spread the word by passing this info along to our military family members and friends. Please spread the word. We ask for your support by passing along this message to fellow members of the military, friends and colleagues. With your help, the Military Channel can continue to be a voice for the troops.

What’s it really like to be stationed overseas or live in a combat zone? What is a typical day really like for our Armed Forces? The Military Channel is seeking personal videos from members of the U.S. Military to let soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines tell their story directly to viewers.

Real-life moments captured on film by service members will be broadcast on the Military Channel as part of a new on-air programming initiative. Servicemen and women who brought a camcorder with them on a recent deployment, or those who currently have a camera with them on the frontlines, can submit their videos directly to the Military Channel.

Personal videos can be submitted online here, or mailed to the address below. Or email mywardiary@discovery.com for more information.
