USA Cares and All My Children

Who would have thought we'd ever see those two things together? Well, it's true! All My Children is writing a series of episodes featuring a storyline with a wounded Iraq veteran, and they have asked USA Cares to provide technical storyline experience. How exciting!! Here are some of the press releases:

The article has appeared on the AP site, BeyondTheTV, the We Love Soaps blog, and more.

From the story:

USA Cares, a nonprofit group that provides financial and other support to wounded soldiers and their families, is helping the show's writers assess the accuracy of medical and military details, said spokesman John Revell.

"They're great at drama but there are many nuances that can be left out without getting the reality from the troops themselves," Revell said.

We'll post more details as the project progresses.
