Air Force Christmas radio program arrives just in time for holidays Published Nov. 30, 2007 By Chet R. DelSignore Air Force Recruiting Service Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- This year's Red, White, and Air Force Blue Christmas radio program CD featuring country music star LeAnn Rimes is making its way to 3,300 country music radio stations nationwide this week. Additionally, Air Force recruiting squadrons will find the CDs showing up on their doorsteps. Radio station program directors recently received a special "teaser card" announcing the upcoming program to assist them in incorporating it into their holiday playlists. And, for the first time, the teaser card was supplemented by an online Internet link, http://www.airforce.com/christmas. "This web link gives recruiters an efficient way of showing station program managers a quick sample into the sound and feel of this year's program," said Master Sgt. Deshan Woods, AIRFORCE.COM online manager. "Today's (program) managers are very busy, and this link is a one-click access point into some of the show's audio clips without them having to unwrap a CD to review an entire one-hour show. "It is an excellent holiday product for the American public, created by the Air Force," he concluded. Recruiters should take every opportunity to call country music stations to ensure program directors know the CD is out for their use. It is also important to emphasize that the CD is not commercially available in stores and is intended solely for use as an Air Force hour-long public service announcement. "The radio program is not meant as a special promotional item or for handing out as a holiday gift," Maj. Sean McKenna, AFRS chief of public affairs, pointed out. "This PSA elevates Air Force awareness and is packaged with an uplifting holiday message featuring LeAnn Rimes." The Red, White and Air Force Blue Christmas radio program also goes out to Armed Forces Radio Stations worldwide. It will be heard this holiday season by military members serving overseas.
