Children of the Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund

August 5, 2005

For Immediate Release

The Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund (CFSRF) has been chosen as the beneficiary of a portion of sales proceeds raised through the sales of Brad Cotter’s “An American Dream”. Brad Cotter, as millions of country music fans know, in 2004 won USA Network’s Nashville Star. Brad was then picked up by Sony and released his debut album, Patient Man. Brad Cotter (bradcotter.com) was one of the artists chosen by the USO to perform for the men and women of the Military during this war. His experience and interaction with these fellow Americans based in Germany, Bosnia, and Kosovo ignited his interest in our efforts to raise awareness and help The Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund. Brad Cotter says, We need to let them know, no matter what our political views are, that we know they are over there fighting for our freedom everyday. Show them that we thank them for their strength and honor in serving our country. This project is just our little way of giving back to those who deserve to feel the same freedom they have given us when they return home, safe and sound. This is our chance, as Americans, to show those men and women that they are not forgotten and that we, Americans, are still behind them”.

The Dream Team Music Group LLC will be hosting the Brad Cotter Live Un-plugged video taping of the new single An American Dream. Ô Included in the lyrics, “thank God for Americans in uniform”, unites us all as we thank our military for their services. Many who have made the ultimate sacrifice, those who have enabled us to continue to enjoy the everlasting “gift” of Freedom. Brad reaches out to every American, “we all unite” and can’t wait until they are “all homeward bound”.

Brad Cotter will be in Indianapolis next week along with An American Dream writer and veteran, Alfred E. Sweeney, Gold and Platinum Award winning record producer David Elliott Johnson, and Eclipse Recording Company‘s™ Jim Stafford, who has a long history of involvement with charitable projects. Rebecca Campbell, Founder & CEO of CFSRF and Colette Paluti, Project Manager will be present as well. The video filming will take place at: The Stables, 6125 Southeastern Ave. on Wednesday August 10 at 12 noon. Local Radio WENS-HANK FM (www.wenscom) will be helping to promote this project with contest and promos.

The CFSRF is a Non-Partisan organization. Politics aside, whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent; whether you were for or against this war, this site serves to provide emotional support and college funds to the Children of Fallen Soldiers. We believe that you do not have to 'take sides' to help in this worthy cause.

“If others were to consider everything that our military and their families are enduring perhaps they can find it in their hearts to provide a “gift” to them as well“. “My belief is that all the liberties enjoyed during every moment of our lives are “gifted” and guaranteed by these brave service men and women“. “It is our hope and dream that with the combination of our efforts we can give a “gift” back to the children, spouses and severely disabled veterans affected by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq by providing them with financial and college assistance“. Rebecca Campbell, Founder, CEO
