If you have a minute, click the video below and let it run. It runs for a couple minutes and the organization get's a dollar.

Dear Friends, Family & Clients~
Many of you are aware that I currently serve as the National Chairman of the Board for Operation Homefront (http://www.operationhomefront.net) Operation Homefront is a wonderful charity that provides financial assistance to military families in need around the country. To date, we have raised and distributed more than $15 million to thousands of military families – everything from curing delinquent mortgages, to repairing broken vehicles to buying titanium prosthetic limbs for wounded warriors. We work closely with corporate partners including WalMart, Dollar Tree Stores, Jim Beam Liquors, Major League Baseball and the PGA Golf Tour. I feel honored to be a small part of the success of this outstanding charity.
I have recently become friends with a musician named John Ondrasik, who started the band Five For Fighting. John has sold millions of records and performed all over the world, and he also happens to have a very strong social conscience. John created a charitable website called What Kind of World Do You Want? which allows people to upload videos linked to specific charities and then pays those charities $1 every time someone watches one of the videos in its entirety, up to a sponsored amount.
One of Operation Homefront’s key partners, TriWest Healthcare Alliance, just uploaded a video that features John’s song, Freedom Never Cries, and designates Operation Homefront as the participating charity. This means that every time somebody watches this video, Operation Homefront gets paid $1. TriWest is paying for the first 30,000 views and we are working on additional corporations to sponsor subsequent viewings. John recently performed Freedom Never Cries to a standing room only audience honoring over 40 Medal of Honor recipients at the Reagan Library.
Please do me a favor and take a couple of minutes to watch the Freedom Never Cries video at the link below.

If you are so inclined, I would also be most appreciative if you forwarded this email to your personal contacts as well. Lastly, individuals and corporations can also make a donation to this website or upload their own video as well. I am certain that we will blow through 30,000 hits so I want to keep the momentum rolling!
The needs of our military families are never fully met. Operation Homefront was started around an unwavering belief that as Americans we ALL have a moral obligation to help our military families during their time of need. I hope you’ll help me out by taking a look at the attached video and in turn sharing it with your friends and family members. As always, feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions. Best regards.

Re: a minute of your time...
Maybe it's blocked at work, but I can't seem to get the video to play in Opera or Firefox. (Tried IE too, same thing.) There just isn't anything that looks like a video on the link you gave us. And the few links that they did have took me in circles describing that the video was, and had a small blog on the video.
