LATEST WLF ACTIVITY

A Salute To All Our Veterans On This Special
Veterans Day!


This is a huge day for the Warrior Legacy Foundation. We have several announcements to commemorate Veterans Day 2009. FIRST UP-

We Have A New Fight Song!
We Have A New Campaign!


 
  
With the cooperation of The Warrior Song group, the Warrior Legacy Foundation has 'adopted' a new HOOAH-HOOAH! song to use for various functions. We want you to listen to it- and spread it far and wide. This song talks about what we ARE as Warriors- and what it means to BE a Warrior.


The WLF presents- THE WARRIOR SONG!!!

 


The song, written and performed by a young gent named Sean, was found by our own Matt Burden. He posted it up on Blackfive.net, and after listening to it, we knew it had to be a part of WLF. Sean tells us this about the inspiration for creating the song:

You'd asked me to tell you a little bit about why I did it, and the simplest explanation is, it was done to try to raise the morale of any soldier that might hear it, because I believe that a guy with a higher level of morale stands a better chance of surviving a dangerous situation than one without.

There was an evening where I'd come across several articles in succession on the internet dealing with what they called "the deteriorating psychological state" of the US Military, and that same evening, I happened to tune into a program on TV that was showing soldiers going through basic training.

There were shots of guys doing obstacle courses, getting weapons training, and at some point, running and singing cadence.

All of these things, the articles, and the show, combined to inspire a song that I tried to shape into something that would boost the morale of the soldier, and scare the living hell out of the enemy…regardless of who the enemy might be.

I wanted to uplift and honor those who do what they do...no matter when they did it. It is as much for Veterans as it is for Active-duty members of the Military.

I know that there are a vast number of individuals in this country who look upon these men and women with the same level of awe, admiration, love and respect as I do, and in my opinion, we will never be able to do enough to show it.

But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Technically, the song is just as cool. Here's Sean telling us how he created this tune:

The song was created and produced in Echo Sonic's Studio in Pasadena, California.

I am the producer/songwriter, and primary vocalist, having multi-tracked myself about 32 times to create the sound of a platoon. During the choruses, there is an addition vocal line by a gentleman from Texas named Rock Williams, to thicken it up and make it sound bigger.

The Drill Sergeant parts were done by James DeVito, a Retired Drill Sergeant from the USMC.

The underlying drum loop that pulses through the song was done by Justin Card, an electronic musician friend of mine here in Los Angeles.

The guitars were performed by session guitarist Sean Hurwitz.

The marching snares were performed by L.A. Drummer Bernie Pershey, who I met one night and played the song for him. Ironically, his hobby/passion was studying Military Marching Snare. He came over that very night to volunteer his talents.

The rest of the drums and bass and keys and all they background stuff was my own work. Most of it was programmed.

The video was created over the course of a week in that same room.

NOW FOR THE NEW WARRIOR LEGACY / WHEN
THEY COME BACK
CAMPAIGN!


''For just a moment, picture yourself in THEIR shoes...''

Derek Sholl, WLF Board member and country singer extraordinaire, and his team have kicked off a campaign with the help of the WLF.  This new campaign, to bring attention to the returning soldiers and their families, is getting a sneak preview RIGHT HERE!  You are going to hear a LOT more about this new campaign over the next 6 to 8 months if not more.  The campaign is getting a lot of interest from those that SUPPORT OUR WARRIORS.  Here's a sneak peek at just SOME of those that have already signed on:







This campaign is being set up to thank those who have served, and to bring attention to helping those who have given so much already- our Warriors and their families. 
Again, there is MUCH more to come on this-  stay tuned, and we'll let you know when this comes to YOUR town!



Latest Warrior Legacy Institute Paper, Videos and Material



The Warrior Legacy Institute has released a paper today on Counter-terror strategy for the Afghanistan/Pakistan theater. Along with our previous Primer on Population-Centric Counterinsurgency, we hope to allow regular Americans to understand the policies being currently debated. We have also produced a companion video piece for each paper to further educate the public.

This week we have asked a number of military strategists, analysts and commentators to provide their thoughts on what our path should be going forward in the theater. We will compile these and post them at the end of the week. Please make use of this information to inform yourself and anyone you care to share it with.

Our material can be found on the WLI page here.
