ARTISTS CREATE CD TO THANK THE TROOPS:

America Supports You is a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with military personnel serving at home and abroad.

Getting this project, which combined the music of Billy Joel, Brooks & Dunn, the Goo Goo Dolls, Jewel, Josh Groban, Los Lonely Boys, Melissa Ethridge, the Neville Brothers, Sarah McLachlan, the Lt. Dan Band, Montgomery Gentry, The Fray, and Five For Fighting, to troops’ ears took true teamwork. John Ondrasik, the singer-songwriter who performs under the stage name “Five For Fighting,” was intimately involved with making sure that happened.

Good for him, and read the whole thing. Our podcast interview with Ondrasik — who seems like a great guy — can be heard here. (Via Michelle Malkin, who has much more). Also see Blackfive’s post, John Ondrasik and his CD for the troops.
