Fiesta!

Cinco de Mayo is coming up shortly so I figured it would be the perfect time to send a fiesta.
  • Tortilla chips
  • Salsa
  • Queso
  • Pinata- you know they will like hitting something with a stick
  • Candy to stuff the pinata
  • Sombreros
  • Hot sauce
  • Cardboard or inflatable cactus
  • Maracas
  • Ballons

To the Fallen

I stumbled across this site today and was really impressed. To the Fallen Records is a label that has artists who are veterans or active duty. I ordered the CD 4 pack and I can't wait to get it to send to my soldier. They have a CD for Country, Hip Hop, and Rock. The 4th CD is a mix of all three genres. They have some song samples(most of the songs are patriotic or military related) on the site and they sound great!

Update: They post new music on the 1st and 15th of every month.
Update again: I got the CD's! Overall they are great! I also discovered they are on iTunes too!
Here are some of my favorite songs:

Country Vol 1
  • "Hero" by Keni Thomas
  • "Send my Love" by Cliff Hudson- great song for anyone going through a deployment
  • "Why" by Cactus Hill
  • "Your Freedom's Not Free" by Bert Jones- the lyrics are great
  • "Home Lovin' You" by Herb Walker- the song is a little bit old school but nice
Hip Hop Vol 1
  • "Real Soldiers" by Logic
  • "Combat Zone" by Dirty Boi Vets
  • "My War Cry" by Bank- Roll
  • "Soldier's Prayer" by Talisman

Rock Vol 1

  • "Sleeping Giant" by 10 Fold
  • "Start Saving Me" by Mike Corrado
  • My Wasted Year" by Dave Rucker
  • "Come Over" by Joel Port
