URBANA -- Some soldiers overseas are getting the gift of entertainment this Christmas. Family video is holding its annual "Movies for the Troops" drive. It's been collecting DVD's for the past month to send overseas. 

The goal is to reach one million. Even workers are pitching in to help. The movies haven't been shipped yet, so there is still time to donate. Just drop your DVD's in one of their bins.
