100% of all Proceeds will be sent to the Sapper Mike McTeague
Wounded Warrior Fund
(Clulow & Associates, and the Uxbridge Legion have produced this on a
voluntary basis to ensure that every possible penny donated goes to the
fund.)
The fund supports wounded
soldiers who are rushed from the battlefield for emergency
medical treatment. During this very traumatic period they are
separated from the support of their fellow soldiers, their
families and all their personal belongings. The fund provides
some support during this period of extraordinary stress.

On April 21, 2007 the Town of Uxbridge
Ontario, held a mass rally in support of our troops stationed in Kandahar, around the
world, and at home.
Thousands donned red t-shirts and
participated in a parade, drum-head service, songs and more. The
military sent a helicopter, a C-130, and Canada's Top Gun
Captain Steven Neirlich in a CF-18 Hornet, from CFB Bagotville.
This emotionally moving
demonstration of support sent a clear message.
We support those who have put themselves in
harms way, for the good of others.
We created this short video (Top Left) as a contribution
to this outpouring of support, and it went to Kandahar to show the troops
that we support them. In view of recent events we feel this will
be a much needed moral booster.
We have also created a one-hour memento
documentary-DVD of
the entire event and it is available for sale
through the Royal Canadian Legion, Uxbridge Branch #170, care of Dave Thibodeau.
In adition to event highlights there
are a number of interviews and commentaries about the impact of
military life on families. This was a unique production was a challenge because
we hadn't planed on producing either the music video or the DVD
until long after the event. The entire event was shot on a
hand-held, PD-170.
