Billboards for Troops Across the Country Help Make the Difference!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Digital billboards and videos are popping up on highways and in airports in most major cities from New York to LA! They are being created by Operation Never Forgotten (ONF), a non-profit/non-partisan mass media campaign service supporting our deployed service members, fallen heroes, wounded warriors, veterans and military families. ONF reminds America of the commitments and sacrifices made for our privileges and freedoms.

Thousands of digital billboards have become voices for military families and friends. They want the public to appreciate their loved ones. In addition to ONF's national awareness campaigns, they also post specialty billboards in specific locations for gold star and blue star events, concert fundraisers, homecomings from Iraq and Afghanistan, and during holidays. The local news media often tags along to boost the exposure.

Behind ONF is a blue star mom, Linda Kelly, "The billboards work! Americans are stopping for a moment in their busy day to recognize, appreciate and remember that our troops continue to work hard for us... every second of every day. We can only hope they will NEVER forget our fallen, their families and the wounded. Our campaigns also stimulate volunteerism for all military support organizations."

Linda founded ONF after being inspired by gold star mom, Peg O'Donnell, and seeing the need to bridge the gap between military and civilian worlds. She is a professional photographer, graphic designer, mother of a Marine and Navy wife. Her son is on his second tour in Iraq and her husband served in Baghdad, 2004-05.

Since ONF's first billboards posted September of 2007, Linda, along with Major General (Ret.) William Henderson, Air National Guard, and Vietnam Veterans of America National Member of the Year, John Kinzinger can barely keep up with the demand. They plan to expand into more airports, transit systems, and major sports facilities and malls. They also have more communications projects in the works.

Lee Greenwood, famous for his song "God Bless the USA" came onboard as ONF's spokesman to help ONF thank our troops! Billboard companies who have united in this national campaign effort include Clear Channel Outdoor/Airports, Lamar Outdoor, SpectaColor (Times Square), Magic Media Inc. and Adams Outdoor. ONF is a proud member of the Department of Defense's, America Supports You.
