This Is For The Soldiers! For Real!

It was a typical Saturday night, and I was on the computer, with MTV2’s Head Banger’s Ball on the tube. I decided to take a break, grab a bowl of ice cream, and watch some metal music videos, when the video above came on.
First of all, MTV is not generally recognized as being kind to anyone that doesn’t adhere to the anti-war movement, and the leftist agenda, so seeing this video was, to me, noteworthy. Secondly, Drowning Pool is a local Dallas band, that had a big hit several years ago, “Bodies”, but there young lead singer died while on tour, at the peak of their popularity, from cardiomyopathy. An old man’s heart in a very young man. I’ve always been a fan of their metal/southern rock style, but their expression of support for our troops, endears them to me even more.
The petition they refer to in the video, can be found HERE. I encourage all who read this, to visit the web page, read the petition, and sign. As they state, it doesn’t matter what your opinion is of our current military involvements, they are our soldiers, our children, and they deserve all of the help we can give.
One other thing, in case you aren’t familiar with Lizzie Palmer, she is also involved with Drowning Pool, and IAVA in this endeavor. Lizzie’s video Remember Me has been viewed by more than fifteen million people.
Visiting and signing the petition costs you nothing, and it isn’t about you, anyway. This one really is For The Soldiers.

Excellent cause.
I bet they’ve taken a lot of flack for this.
Maybe so John, but I’ll bet not to their faces.
Somehow I feel the need to contribute more than two words.
Ted’s the metal head in the family — I’ll have to try and send him here. Not an easy job with all these blogs changing addresses and stuff. I know, I’ll email him the link. Let’s see if he shows up. Realize that there remains a strong possibility that he’s out putting miles on the Harley. Getting in riding shape for the big trip to TX.
