In recognition of the contributions made by the United States Armed Forces, Sesame Workshop presents this bilingual educational outreach initiative designed for military families and their young children to share.
We are proud to offer support to help military families as they face challenging transitions.
And which exact for profit TV show is going to produce programing like this and be able to distribute it free of charge both through free DVDs, iTunes, and streamed on the internet?

I support our troops, I support the CPB which supports PBS which supports The Children's Television Workshop.

You don't think giving money directly to military charities might be a more efficent way of showing your "support for the troops"?
As someone who has been and is in a military family, these gestures are utterly meaningless and generally unknown to the families. But if it makes you feel better about yourself, then I guess it's worth a few couple hundred million dollars.
