Thanks to the Troops

UPDATE 12/09/07: In a reversal of it’s previous policy, NBC has announced that it will run the ad.
The ad, by the group Freedom’s Watch, asks viewers to remember the troops during the holiday season. NBC had refused to air the ad because it guides viewers to the Freedom’s Watch Web site, which NBC said was too political.
But in a statement issued Saturday evening, NBC said:
“We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom’s Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday.”
END OF UPDATE
NBC has refused to run this ad, produced by Freedom’s Watch to thank our troops during the Holidays. On the other hand, I’m proud to display it, and I will continue to do so until after the Holidays.
If you’re interested in the story behind NBC’s refusal, go to Freedom’s Watch and read about it.
I encourage everyone to contact NBC and tell them what you think of their policy.
H/T to Texas Fred and GuyK at Charming, Just Charming for bringing this to my attention.
