Charter Brings Holiday Greetings from Hometown Soldiers

St. Louis, MO – As we enter the holiday season, families and communities keep servicemen and women serving overseas in their thoughts. For several years, Charter has facilitated a way for soldiers who won’t be home for the holidays to work their way into their families’ living room celebrations with its “US Soldier Holiday Greetings.”

Charter is again making available soldiers’ holiday greetings, featuring men and women through Missouri and Illinois who are serving our country and cannot make it home to celebrate the holidays with family and friends.

The greetings are currently available on Charter’s On Demand service (channel 1), and will be featured through January 31, 2012. 

“Seeing and hearing a loved one who is far away during the holidays, even if it’s only for a few minutes on video, is a wonderful gift,” said Sean O’Donnell, Vice-President and General Manager for Charter in Missouri and Illinois. “Having access to a greeting On Demand makes it easier for families and friends of our soldiers to view anytime. And there will be those who watch simply because they are uplifted by these true patriots serving our country.”

US Soldier Holiday Greetings are available On Demand at no extra charge to all Charter TV in Digital customers throughout Missouri and Illinois. Customers should go to Charter On Demand (channel 1), then select “Local Interest,” then “Military Salute.”

Greetings will be available through January 31, 2012.

Because “US Soldier Holiday Greetings” is available On Demand, customers can watch it as many times as they wish, rewind and fast-forward through the program to search for the greetings they want to see, or sit back and enjoy watching greetings from Missouri and Illinois soldiers stationed throughout the world. Each greeting is listed with the soldier’s name, rank, military branch and hometown.
