Celebrities like Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris and lip-licking LL Cool J are banding together for Sears Presents, Heroes At Home.

Sears is encouraging patrons to make a donation or to purchase something from the "Wish Registry" for a military family.

The logline begs, "This season, remember those who serve overseas and their loved ones at home."

The celebrities add to the campaign by telling a brief story on how a gift changed the course of their lives.

Especially a gift from "Sears"!

Samantha Harris claims, "My parents bought my sister and I velvet dresses to wear at the family Renaissance Festival - it sparked a love of being onstage."

So it was the dress, not the fact that you grew up at a Renaissance Festival?

LL shares, "When I was 11, my grandfather gave me some DJ gear and with that he gave me a voice and a direction in life."

Don't forget the batteries, Cool J.
