Update 2/7/2008: I was given a heads up by a reader that Nickeloden work by Linda Ellerbee is strongly suspect and this may be not what it appears to be.

More detailed reading available at BlackFive and Army Wife Toddler Mom.

I’m also going to send this feedback to VAJoe.

Original Post below.

Received via email from the staff @ VAJoe. If you can pitch in and pass the word, you may be able to get the voice of our service member’s kids in front of the public!

VA Joe.com was contacted by Jessie Findlay over at Nickelodeon recently with this announcement. Help spread the word!

“The Nickelodeon news series “Nick News with Linda Ellerbee” is looking for kids of soldiers currently home from deployment who are willing to be interviewed about the readjustment process. We’re looking for a few well-spoken kids around 11 to 15 years old to talk about how life has changed now that Mom/Dad has come home - particularly those dealing with a physical injury, divorce or PTSD. This show will recognize that war affects whole families, acknowledge the sacrifices of American troops and their families - especially their kids, and portray the good feelings that come with being reunited. Filming will be completed by the end of February.

Interested families please contact Coordinating Producer Jessie Findlay at Lucky Duck Productions - 212-463-0029 ext. 153 or jessie@nicknews.com. “
