A MESSAGE FROM RAY ABOUT THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE OUR COUNTRY
Last week we visited the brave men and women at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We got to spend some time and talked with a few of the patients there. These people have been through so much, losing loved ones, use of their legs and arms, being away for months at a time from their families. Yet they continue to have a great, positive outlook on life.
To me all these men and women who serve are real heroes, reminders of how lucky we are to enjoy the lives we have.
I remember when I was in 6th grade, writing to a soldier who was stationed in the Gulf as part of a school project. I was so excited when I got a letter back, reading how he appreciated the letter, and how good it felt to know people cared back at home.
I know you guys are great at writing letters and showing us your appreciation every day, so we're asking you all for a favor. Take the time and visit a local Vets Hospital, write a letter, send a card or balloons or flowers or whatever it may be. Show these men and women in service who risk their lives every day your appreciation, and that you care.

Posts: 699 | I replied to that message on Myspace. I really almost cried because I am serving in the USAF. In fact, I graduate from my tech school monday and will be going to my first base in just a few weeks, after some well earned leave, mind you- I was in basic training from Dec 12th to Jan 26th (no family on the holidays) and started tech school on Jan 29th. I haven't seen my friends in 6 months, and I can't wait.
But back to the topic at hand- you have no idea how good it feels to have that support. So as I said on myspace- I know 84 airmen who appreciate the support, especially from people I admire so much.
Take care

Ray really is a generally amazing person when you meet him, to.
It's great that he cares about people, as well as the whole band together.
It makes me want to hug Ray like no other! |

I like the fact that they're all posting messages on thier website. It sort of shows that they care about thier fans, by granting them the pleasure of a personal message.

What other bands are this in touch with their fans, much less use the power of their fanbase for this kind of good? |
