Last month I brought New York Post columnist Col. Ralph Peters on the show to talk about The Returning Heroes Home project. Well God bless Ralph. The series was outstanding and is a must read.
Not only was I moved but so was my friend and loyal listener, syndicated cartoonist Guy Gilchrist. Guy contacted his friend Country Music Legend Charlie Daniels who in turn put this great package together for auction on eBay. It will last just 10 days.
BIG NEWS!! Connie and Chris Hillman, Chris Hillman of The BYRDS, the Flying Burritos, etc, Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer, is so touched by this cause, they have pledged to this package to ADD an AUTOGRAPHED BYRDS BOXED SET to the winner. That's right. In addition to everything else in this package...you now get THE BYRDS Boxed Set, the new one....autographed by Chris! Bid high, folks....God Bless You.
The items are described on the eBay site include:
- Charlie Daniel's autographed student violin,
- Autographed "Charlie Daniels Live In Iraq" CD and DVD and poster
- Autographed picture
- Back stage passes to a Charlie Daniels' show in your area in 2008.
The goal of the project is to build a brand new "Warrior and Family Support Center", currently located at Fort Sam Houston. The center makes a profound contribution to the rehabilitation of America's seriously wounded Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, National Guard Reservists and their loved ones. The new building will house returning wounded servicemen and women and their families during a very phyically and emotionally trying time.
