VetsCoR is pleased to present: a CD message of support from America to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen deployed in the Middle East, and other places around the globe, in the ongoing war on terrorism.
This CD contains an auto-executable 33 minute slide show containing OVER 500 pictures of rallies of support from 90 rallies in over 85 cities that were held during the month of March 2003. In addition to the picture slide show, we have included music to lift the spirits of our warriors deployed, to let them know we love them and appreciate the sacrifice they're making in our name and on behalf of FREEDOM. Our troops will be overseas protecting our FREEDOM, and providing our SECURITY, for years to come. They NEED to know that the country is behind them (see the email from the USS TARAWA and the postcard from Iraq at the bottom of this page).
There are NO agendas or advertisments in this slideshow.
Click here to view a 5 minute segment from the slide show in .wmv (Windows media viewer) format (approx. 13.5mb). Click here to watch a RealMedia streaming preview.

"...it was GREAT! My family and I were enthralled by it.""...well done!"
"It was great!"
"...cool stuff."
"...awesone undertaking..."
"...we enjoyed it."
"Words can't describe, but I would rate it as a 'three hanky presentation'. I thought some of the pictures were really blurry, but it was just the tears in my eyes. What a great job. Kudos, very well done and a round of applause."
"Still a heart-warming, chest-swelling experience even after 4 viewings. What a great presentation."
"AWESOME!!!"
"Thank you to VETSCOR for putting this together, you guys are great! "
"Got my CD and it's FANTASTIC! Congratulations to ANV and VetsCoR for a project WELL DONE!"
"Was so happy to go to my mailbox and find my CD's there! I have viewed the entire CD, awesome photos and the music is great. Thank You to all involved in this wonderful project. "
"Woo Hoo! Wonderful. Wow. .... You've done a wonderful service for our troops with this and the music kicks! .... Thank you very much for putting this together. Bless you."
"It is a masterpiece! Thank you for your time and effort on this project. ..... On a personal note, the last picture on your presentation is our son. He is the apple of my eye, but seeing him holding the American Flags with that smile on his face makes me very proud to be an American. "
"WOW! We just sat down last night and watched the entire CD! It was terrific, fantastic work!"
Email from a Senior Chief on the USS TARAWA (VetsCoR sent 13 copies of the CD to the TARAWA) "I got the VetsCor CD's today. That was pretty awesome! I took them down to the library so everyone can check them out either down there, or take them up to their workspace to view them. I gave the copies of the Constitution to our Career Counselor's office to be included in re-enlistments packages. I'm sure everyone will thoroughly enjoy the CD!"
And this postcard from troops in Iraq received on 6/7/03:
Dear VetsCoROn behalf of the Marines of 3D LAAD BN I want to thank and congratulate you for a superb job on the DVD that you sent to me.
It was very motivating and a much needed shot in the arm for us when we needed it.
We are preparing ourselves to leave Iraq/Kuwait any day now. The desert here cannot compare with LHC. Give my best to everyone especially (name redacted). Semper Fi.
