Tonal Troop Support - Renegade Rail
Renegade Rail was the first "Angel Artist" over at Soldiers' Angels. In addition to being great performers, they're also great supporters of our Heroes.
From an email to Soldiers' Angels founder, Patti Patton-Bader:
Hey Patti,
Hope all is well. We recieved an e-mail from a lady in Texas that works in the burn unit where they recieve troops from Iraq and Afghanistan after they are transported from Germany. She told us of a 19 year old soldier that had burns over 90% of his body, they played our music for him. He passed away last saturday, and in honor of him, we gave a speach for a crowd of about 5,000 people yesterday at the Missouri State Fair grandstands during one of our shows. We sat a chair on the stage to represent him and all of our fallen soldiers while we played the song "Heroes". All the veterans stood up and there was not many dry eyes including mine. His name was Devon Gibbons, and I recieved a call from his father over the weekend that was very touching, the family is in our thoughts and prayers.
They have a new two-song disc they've got out - and are going to be donating some of the proceeds to support Soldiers' Angels...
...And, they're featured this month in a poll on www.newcountrystar.com. Competing against three other bands, they're currently in 2nd place.

From Patti:
I cannot say enough about what this band has done for soldiers, Christmas 2004 they gave a free concert to FT Leonard Wood for us, and you should have seen the smiles on these battle weary troops. Listen to the music and if you deem it proper Please vote
Love p
