Operation Ensuring Christmas
A lil' Heroes Christmas
Christmas and Patriotic songs featuring 'voices of the children' of Fallen American Troops.
Robert McDowell, Operation Ensuring Christmas…for Children of Fallen Troops Founder and Veit Renn of Renn Music Productions have produced A lil’ Heroes Christmas CD to help honor and support the Children of Fallen American Troops. Thirteen children of troops killed in action since 9/11 were in Recording Studios across the country adding their voices to the Christmas CD on the same day at the same time, the afternoon of Saturday, October 7th. The CD features the children singing traditional Christmas songs and parts of original songs written especially for them. 100% of the proceeds from the CD will go to support the programs at OEC which directly benefit these very special children. The children sing all or part of 7 of the 9 songs, see the credits below.
Veit Renn did the bulk of the CD project at his RMP Studios in Orlando Florida. Renn has sold over 50 Million CD’s including over 11 million Nsync CD’s, 4 Million being Nsync’s Christmas CD. Renn also had 2 hit singles on the Back street boys first album which sold over 34 million copies worldwide. Renn Music Productions is also the home of American Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson who is co-starring in Dream Girls with Jamie Foxx, Beyonce’ Knowles and Eddie Murphy in theaters December, 2006. In addition to recording at RMP Studios, children added vocals to the CD at the prestigious Studio West in San Diego CA, PostPro Studios in Raleigh NC and Jupiter Studios in St. Louis MO.

donated their time and services. 100% of the proceeds from the CD will go to support the programs at OEC which directly benefit these very special children.
“The children are very excited about singing on the CD and being part of an effort to help all of the other children who are so deserving of OEC’s programs,” Robert McDowell. This Christmas will feel empty for so many of these children. We ask that you please purchase your CD today and it also makes a great Christmas Gift.
Please remember that these children have made the Ultimate Sacrifice that a child can make for their country...the loss of a parent in war. By purchasing the CD you will help us continue to help these children be 'kids again'. Many of these children did not receive benefits after the loss of their soldier parent and are struggling financially. Without your help they may never be able to experience the Magical 'pursuit of happiness' that their parents died for and OEC, with your help, can provide.
OEC is a politically neutral organization. We strictly focus on the children. OEC believes that politics stops with the Children of Fallen Troops.
Once you purchase your CD’s go to www.opchristmas.org to see what your donations do for the children. If you can please consider making an additional direct donation to these ‘precious lil heroes’.
