TAMPA, Fla. — Checkers Drive-In Restaurants Inc. announced it is teaming up with America Supports You and Operation Gratitude to send care packages to U.S. Troops deployed overseas. According to a news release, in honor of Military Appreciation Month, May 2006, Checkers/Rally's has joined the Operation Gratitude Patriotic Drive to collect items for care packages that will be sent to America's brave military men and women overseas in time for the Fourth of July.
 
"Our troops throughout the world will know they are appreciated and supported at home this Fourth of July when they receive their care packages filled with items donated by Checkers/Rally's guests," said Keith E. Sirois, president and chief executive of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants Inc.
 
During the Patriotic Drive, which runs May 8 to June 14, the double drive-thru chain will have collection bins at participating restaurants nationwide for guests to donate gifts. These items will be used by Operation Gratitude to prepare individual care packages for troops deployed overseas.
 
To officially kick-off the Patriotic Drive, Checkers/Rally's has pledged to donate $100,000 to Operation Gratitude if Joe Nemechek, driver of the No. 01 U.S. Army Chevrolet, wins the NEXTEL Cup 400 at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday, May 6.
