Local Chiropractor Helps Soldiers Overseas Through “Operation DVD”
Rock Island, IL, August 22, 2007 --(PR.com)-- An Illinois chiropractor is reaching out to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, by giving them something to watch. Dr. Robert Scranton, owner of Community Chiropractic Center, has been collecting DVD’s and sending them to troops in the war zone.
Dr. Scranton says he found out about it through a program called Operation DVD (http://www.operationdvd.us). “There is a huge demand for movies among the soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen”, says Dr. Scranton. “We have already shipped hundreds of movies, and are gathering more all the time.”
“There is a lot of downtime there. Despite the fact it’s a war environment, when you get away from the conflict you need time to regroup and time to relax. And from what Operation DVD has told me there is a never ending need. They are always getting more names of people looking for movies than they can possibly fill.”
Dr. Scranton says the thank you letters from the soldiers show they’re grateful for anything that connects them with people back home. He is hoping that other groups and people will start to gather DVD’s too. He says soldiers like to watch just about everything, and the movies can be either brand new or used, but in good condition.
As a special incentive for those wanting to support the troops, During the month of September Dr. Scranton is currently offering his first visit free of charge to anyone looking into chiropractic and how it might help them.
This first visit will include the consultation, examination, and any necessary x-rays, a value of $160, for free in exchange for the donation of two DVD’s, either new or used, to the “Support our Troops” Operation DVD campaign at Community Chiropractic Center.
“This way they can make an informed decision about their health care, and it doesn’t cost them anything.”
Dr. Robert Scranton is located at 2512 18th Ave, Rock Island IL 61201, next to but not in Whitey’s Ice cream. Appointments can be scheduled by telephone at (309) 786-3012.
