Phone or text message our troops for Christmas

ARTISTS AND FANS SEND THEIR SUPPORT TO THE U.S. TROOPS USING NEW VOICE SERVICE FROM MOZES

Palo Alto, CA – December 10, 2007 -- Major recording artists are joining forces to support the U.S. troops this holiday season. The Back Street Boys , Five for Fighting , Hinder, Jordin Sparks, Mario, Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman and Teddy Geiger have partnered with Mozes, along with Armed Forces Entertainment, to leave voice messages for the troops.

Launched today, “Voices from America ” powered by Mozes, lets bands leave voice messages for the troops. Anyone can call the “Voices from America” number (1-888-312-2612) to hear artists’ messages and leave a holiday message of their own. All messages will be displayed on the “Voices from America” widget, accessible on each of the artists’ MySpace pages. Troops serving overseas will have access to all messages through the support of Armed Forces Entertainment.

“When servicemen and women are away from their families, they need as much support as we can give -- especially during the holidays,” said U.S. Air Force Colonel and Armed Forces Entertainment Chief Edward Shock. “The support of the entertainment community, along with companies like Mozes, is crucial. Sending your voice and good thoughts is a powerful way to say thank you for all of the sacrifices our troops are making.”

“Our brave service men and women sacrifice so much. It's important that we all remember what they do for us especially around the holidays. We wanted to be a part of 'Voices from America' to show our appreciation for our troops," said Hinder’s Mike Rodden.

More than 20 artists are connecting with their fans using Mozes’ recently launched integrated voice feature. In just a few weeks, three artists have reached over 125,000 fans. Fans get a personal message from the artist and can leave their own voice message.

Access the Voices from America page to hear all of the messages from the artists and leave your message of support. Fans and supporters can leave their messages for the troops until January 1, 2008.

Thank our troops. Call 1-888-312-2612

Love,

Barbara,

I am fairly new to your blog. As an Air Force Reservist as well as spouse to an Active Duty Air Force Member I just wanted to thank you for all of your support of the troops. The support you and others like you give to military personnel make it much easier to explain to my children why daddy does the job he does and why he is gone alot. Thank you again and God Bless you and your family!
