United We Roll World Tour Show 9/11/07

Our United We Roll World Tour show today began with a musical tribute to September 11, 2001 and to those who lost their lives, who lost their loved ones and to the many everyday people who became Heroes on that fateful day. We also began our first segment of Hometown Heroes on this day of 9/11/07, where we will recognize those who are the first responders in our neighborhoods and our cities – the police and law enforcement members, the firefighters and the EMS/medical personnel.

We had three wonderful interviews with our guests today:

*Joe O’Brien of The Moonshiners – The co writer of The Boys & Girls In Blue and member of The Moonshiners band, who play such beautiful music at so many functions for the NYPD www.myspace.com/moonshiners Joe comes from a family of New York policemen and his understanding of the pain felt by so many by the attacks in New York City makes this song even more special.

*Carol Kana with Give2TheTroops -- an organization focused on keeping letters, cards and care packages going to our deployed troops so that they always know that they have support from home and people who care about them. If you or someone you know could use some support, or you would like to help by sending your own letter or donations for postage, just go to their website. http://www.give2thetroops.org/

*Dennis Griffee, Nat’l Commander of the Iraqi War Vets Org & Afghanistan War Vets Org – The volunteers in this group have made it THE place for any Iraq or Afghanistan Vet to go to get immediate help & support and to be put in touch with those who can help to resolve issues on a long term basis. http://www.iraqwarveterans.org/

As always, Jeff and I felt honored to be able to bring the music and voices today from home to our deployed troops and to our listeners wherever they are. On this date in particular, we again renewed our promise to keep this show going for our military members, our military families and our Veterans – and now for our Hometown Heroes, too. And we renewed our promise to stand up with our troops whenever they need us.

We are starting our 7th year this month here at Stardust Radio in our support of our troops and of those organizations and individuals who also support our troops. We implore that our listeners and Americans across the country step up and speak out on behalf of our military. Many cannot speak out for themselves as they are currently in harm’s way as they protect our freedom and our streets from terrorists or they are in a hospital bed, trying to recover from injuries they received while on duty against those who attacked our country on September 11th and more.

Stand Up - Speak Out - Be Silent No More!

God Bless You All & God Bless America!
