"The willingness with which our young
people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be
directly proportional to how they perceived veterans of earlier wars were
treated and appreciated by our nation."

Willie Nelson's
Concert Broadcast
Live to Deployed Troops
Last Wednesday night Willie Nelson
performed a concert for a sold out packed house at the Norva
concert hall in Norfolk Virginia. The concert was simultaneously
broadcast live to military units in Iraq and Afghanistan by
Stardust Radio via a special internet connection. The special
broadcast was sponsored by Operation Firing For Effect and
Stardust Radio and was approved by the Department of Defense and
the Pentagon.
Mr. Gene Simes, National Chairman of Operation Firing For Effect
was invited by Willie to join him on stage to start the concert
and to explain the live overseas broadcast.

A MESSAGE
FROM WILLIE
American Icon, and grassroots activist, Willie Nelson is
asking for all Americans to ‘Stand Up For Our Troops’
in a public service announcement posted on YouTube. Below is
a message from Willie concerning the video.
“I’m asking everyone across the nation to unite for the
common good of our men and women in uniform. We have a new
generation of veterans coming home now and we must be
prepared to treat their injuries and heal their spirit. We
have a moral and ethical obligation to our veterans to
provide quality and accessible healthcare. Sadly, we have
fallen short of this goal. It’s time for America
to stand up for
her troops. Together, we can
do so much better.”
Here is what
you can do to help! Together, we can make the ‘hit-counter’
on Willie’s YouTube video page spin!
1. Send Willie’s YouTube
video link above to everyone you know.
2. Encourage everyone to
visit the link and leave a comment about Willie’s video.
Charlie Daniels Joins
Fight for Mandatory Funding
Grammy
Award winner Charlie Daniels, 72, is probably best known for his
fiddle-drive hard-edge country and southern rock music. Over his
career Daniels has worked with the best of the best in the music
industry.
In
January of this year Daniels was inducted into the Opry Hall of Fame.
Charlie Daniels has never shied away from politics.
"The South's Gonna Do It" had a mild message of Southern cultural
identity within the Southern rock movement. Daniels was an early
supporter of Jimmy Carter's
presidential
bid and performed at his January 1977 inauguration. Charlie Daniels
has always been a valued supporter of our men and women in uniform.

of the United States of America receive quality and accessible healthcare
and related services?”
