Thanks to the Troops: Pre-Thanksgiving CD Release of For the Troops II

Starting November 25th, the Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) will be providing free downloads of the second CD "For the Troops" featuring Grammy Award winners/nominees at www.aafes.com. And TriWest HealthCare Alliance will distribute 200,000 hard copies at locations such as military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and USO centers.

Here's more information from www.cdforthetroops.com:
"I’ve heard from service members who, before going on missions or upon returning, listen to songs for inspiration, motivation, reflection or simply to be distracted from a reality few of us could ever imagine,” said John Ondrasik, who writes and sings under the pseudonym band name Five for Fighting and spearheaded the CD’s development. “I hope that my song and the other hits from artists who generously contributed to this project stir those same emotions in our service members. We greatly appreciate the sacrifices the military has made for our country.”

The complete track listing of “For the Troops II” is:

3 Doors Down – When I’m Gone
Daughtry – Home
Five for Fighting – Freedom Never Cries
Good Charlotte – I Don’t Want to Be in Love (Dance Floor Anthem)
Gretchen Wilson – California Girls
