MARQUETTE -- Family Video stores are giving back to our troops overseas. They're looking for customers to donate one million movies for American soldiers to watch. It's part of Operation Movies for Troops. November 1-26 they'll be accepting movies you want to donate. You can also give a $2 donation that will be used to purchase a movie.

"It's a way of saying thank you to all of our troops for taking their time to protect us, and it's just a way for us to be thankful and show our gratitude," said Marquette Store Manager Barbara Lynaugh. "Our goal is a million movies, and we didn't quite get there last year, so we really, really want to do a big push."

Last year the company sent more than 600,000 movies to our troops. With Family Video's expansion over the past year, they're hoping one million movies is within their reach. For more information on Operation Movies for Troops, click here.
