A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
Big Thanks to our great friend Dennis from Michigan Harley Rider.
As if putting together the bike run for us wasn't enough, he has also made a REAL NICE contribution to the fest out of his own pocket.
Man there really are some great people in this world. With all the bad news we get bombarded with every day, It just blows my mind to come across people like Dennis, who go the extra mile to try and help us make the fest a success. Dennis, we appreciate you SO MUCH, and can never repay you for all that you've done for our cause.
If you feel so inclined, drop by his site and tell him thanks, and sign up for the ride while your there!

For
Those of you
who don't know, this yr I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and then
thyroid cancer. I survived both,they ripped me apart from the groin up,
then took my hair, took a yr of my life, there was a scare I would
never sing again, because they had to operate on my throat, remove my
thyroid gland, and lymph node...s
do a neck resection, the cancer was attached to my trachea. For 6 wks I
couldn't make pitch or range, my band never gave up on me, GOD never
gave up on me. I am singing in his house fri night nov 13th at Calvary
Church in winter park, fla it will be televised for airing in Dec, 6000
capacity in the church. He gave me my voice and now i use it to
make a lot of noise for breast cancer awareness, charity,our military,
to our brave military We support you and stand by you, to all my breast
cancer sista's "STAND UP AND FIGHT!" Much Love, MicheleAnn PS life is
precious make every moment count!
I donate 50% of proceeds from the download "Lean On Me" to breast cancer charity
