"It's our duty as Americans to keep our government in check, and protest policies with which we disagree. But when you depict the troops as blood-thirsty criminals as an anti-war statement, you are empowering our enemies and endangering the very people that defend your right to protest." Scott Mactavish

I just received the comp in the mail and listened to it at once. Being a veteran, I couldn't help but get quite emotional when listening to the selection of bands and songs, along with reading the liner notes. All of the memories, hardships, friendships and feelings that have stuck with me since 2001, hit me all at once. Words cannot express how proud I am of all of you and the bands that have made this possible. This is the prime example of what separates the punk and hardcore scene from everything else. God bless, and thanks again.

MY FRIEND - Sergeant Randall D. Watkins (Marine Corp)
Here is Sergeant Watkins' story:
In 1999, Sgt. Watkins joined the U.S. Marine Corp two days after graduating from high school. He was 17 years old.
It was the morning of September 11, 2001, that Sgt. Watkins witnessed the tragic crash of American Airlines Flight 77.
While he was stationed in Iraq, tragedy struck when a suicide bomber driving a passenger van drove in the path of Watkins and his platoon. The bomb went off and several of Watkins’ comrades were killed instantly. Sgt. Watkins was struck by shrapnel in both of his knees, right arm, chest and face. Already littered with shrapnel in his body, an insurgent shot Watkins four times in his chest to try and finish the job. Miraculously, Watkins survived.
"I underwent thirteen surgeries in all. The final summary ended up being permanent nerve damage in my left arm and permanent knee damage to my left leg. There were countless acts of heroism above and beyond from nearly every one of the Marines who were there on that day. I am alive. You won't hear me complain." Sergeant Randall D. Watkins
