Hi,
My name is Julie, and I ran across your site today... I thought you might be interested in a project I'm helping to direct called Operation Completion. Our goal is to hold a tour of pro-military rallies across the Country this spring and summer. OC is run and maintained by youth across the country, ages ranging from 16 to 19, and we hope to actively show support for our soldiers as they finish the job they started overseas.

You can find our website at www.operationcompletion.org.

To date we have acquired 501(c)3 status, and are finalizing permits and dates for rallies in multiple cities.I was wondering if you would be interested in helping to spread the word about Operation Completion, to raise awareness of what we are doing and draw attention to our rallies. The first rally will be held at the Capitol in Sacramento on May 12th, at 6pm.

We will have several speakers and music as well. If you would put info about us on your site that would be awesome.

Dover – On Tuesday morning, the Operation Completion Central Advisory Panel (CAP) released the list of guest cities that will host pro-military rallies during the summer of 2006. The list that included seventeen cities in fourteen states and the District of Columbia was accompanies with a partial schedule that included the previously announced event in Sacramento, CA.

The complete list included Sacramento, San Antonio, Richmond, Boise, Saint Paul, Indianapolis, Lansing, Columbus, San Diego, Houston, Denver, Tampa, Nashville, Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Dates were given for Sacramento (May 12), Saint Paul (June 17), and Nashville (July 19). Operation Completion's executive director, Micah Derry, said that more dates will be released shortly. “It's a matter of confirming event permits and working the permits with our schedule.” Derry also noted that a couple of the cities are subject to change. “In some states, we find out after we begin our project that there is another nearby city that would be better for any number of reasons so we go ahead and change cities.”

Hailey Frantzen, the Executive Assistant for CAP, voiced the overall enthusiasm for the project. “I am a very patriotic person, but rarely am I given the opportunity to publicly demonstrate it as the Operation Completion rallies are giving me. These rallies are a chance for me display my patriotism and to support my country and America's heroes- our soldiers.”

Frantzen went on to highlight the need for volunteers. “We need contacts in all of these cities. If anybody is interested in helping, please email the Operation Completion staff!” The information given on the Operation Completion website, www.operationcompletion.org, directs volunteer-related emails to the information address,

HOOOAH to Julie and Operation Completion!!
