Some soldiers who just had gotten back from Iraq when this video was made.

This is some BULL CRAP! If a student goes to training when he is of age to go earn the title or graduate from military training he should be able to wear his uniform at the graduation, I would if I was him and his family sue the school for discrimination or for the constitutional rights being violated.

GUESTBOOK ONE

Andrew Koenig – actor, director, writer, producer, editor, activist – passed away this month in
Vancouver, British Columbia after a long battle with depression.

A funny, caring, gifted, passionate and multi-talented young man, Andrew was best known as
“Boner” in the 1980’s sitcom “Growing Pains”. He was the video producer for the podcast “Never
Not Funny”, performed at The Improv in Los Angeles, and has had roles in the movies NonSeNse,
InAlienable, The Theory of Everything, Batman: Dead End, and on television in “Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine”, “G.I. Joe”, “My Two Dads”, “21 Jump Street”, “My Sister Sam”, and “Adam-12”. He
edited over a dozen films and directed, produced, and wrote many others.

Andrew was an activist his entire life and was best known to those who knew and loved him as a
compassionate, ethical man who lived according to his conscience. He was a vegan, active in
environmental causes, and in animal and human rights and was quick to take an active role to
help on a grass roots level. Most recently, he had been working on behalf of the people of Burma,
and was arrested during the 2008 Rose Bowl parade for protesting American involvement in
China’s Olympics due to China’s support of the Burma military regime.

Andrew’s disappearance caused a worldwide campaign of support and search efforts by those
who were lucky to be his friends and by those whose lives he touched. A beautiful human being,
Andrew died in his favorite city, filled with friends, in a park he loved.

“My son took his own life,” said his father: “If you’re one of those people who feel they can’t
handle it any more, if you can learn anything from this: it’s that there are people out there who
really care. You might not think so…but there are people who really, really care. And before you
take that final decision, check it out again…talk to somebody. And for those families who have
members who they fear are susceptible to this kind of behavior, don’t ignore it, don’t rationalize it.
Extend a hand.

Walter Koenig was on ABC last night on the search of his son Andrew Koenig, who is still missing and was last seen in Vancouver, BC

Actor, producer, director, writer, editor, photographer….

Andrew was suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance. The last time the Koenigs heard from Andrew was on February 9. His cell phone is turned off and the last time his phone received a text was on February 16 in Vancouver.

The Koenigs plan to fly up to Vancouver in the next few days.

Walter said of the Vancouver police and their efforts to find his son, “They have been kind, sensitive, generous and just extraordinary. Two of their investigators are working tirelessly today on their day off. They have been wonderful and I ask people to call the number from the Vancouver Police department … if you have any information.”

That police department number is 604-717-2534.

In defense of any rumors that might surface in the future, Walter added, “So many times when these kinds of reports about behavior and habits come out, there are insinuations that are untrue. Andrew has no narcotic habit.”

While he greatly appreciates your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement… Please DO NOT contact Walter at this time unless it is an emergency.

I figured I would post an update on what is going on behind the scenes of Trek to the Troops.  At this point we are a Incoperated company in the State of California we are a Non Profit Coperation in California we are working to achieve the 501c3 status. We are awaiting paperwork to be sent in from State to go with the application we are sending in to the IRS so we can then achieve 501c3 once we receive the Tax Exempt status we will then start fund raising to run events for the troops such as Meet N Greets at military instalations around the country as well as overseas venues once we are able to afford the cost. 

Big IDEAS
Trek to the Troops is officaly anouncing the concept MET 1 and MET 2  Mobile Entertainment Trucks, one for both the West Coast and East Coast operations.  The idea is to receive sponsors and donations from the entertainment and automotive community to put together two trucks that we will take to Military bases here in the United States mainly in peek military field training exercises such, during the summer when most military reserves and National Guard do their annual training.  We will work with the military in bringing these into the field during training or after their training exercise is compleated so that the troops will be able to play video games watch movies and have a break from their training and be easily entertains.   USO have mobile entertainment vehcals as well, they are big converted moble homes the idea behind METs is simular to those but smaller scale lower cost to transport and to provide the same overall goal of entertaining our men and women of the US Armed Forces.   We will be seeking a donation of the vehicals or donated lease of two trucks that will be converted by a company who already pledge to fabricate the moduals that will go on the back of the trucks we will also be seeking the donation or sponsors who will provide the electronics (example TVs and video game systems) When not in operations both METs will be stored at Military Reserve centers that we have contacted that would store the vehicals for no cost. There they will be protected and secured.

More great ideas in the planning stages. Keep checking out trektothetroops.org for the latest.

Sorry for the lag in adding new content, been really busy. I will be adding new posts soon to the website.   Also soon it will be Trek to the Troops 5th Year Anerversery since the start of Trek to the Troops March 1, 2005 when the website first went live for the first time.  We are working to make the organiation an offical 501c3, more forms to file all to the IRS.  The State Non Profit in California was completed early last year now we have to get things together for being federal recognized as a Non Profit and start fund raising so we can do more for in the form of entertainment to our troops.
