WASHINGTON D.C. (April 18, 2008) - People who couldn't attend a
day-long celebration of those who serve in the military here last
week could still enjoy the sounds thanks to and Internet music and
video site.
The online music and entertainment site SyncLive made the
festivities available via a live Web cast when the Fort Hood
community came together April 11 to honor about 80,000
servicemembers and Defense Department civilians during a "Salute to
Our Heroes" celebration.
The celebration featured live music, but troops didn't have to
be on Fort Hood to enjoy the sounds. The artists who performed
during the event included FOSTERCHILD, Framing Hanley, Grupo Mania,
Lyfe Jennings, Maren Morris, Jennifer Pena, Kritickill, Mark
Chesnutt, Mylin, Rissi Palmer, Tantric and Wild Horses.
Metal Sanaz, who participated in a similar event held in Kuwait
in March, was one of the special guests.
The free Web cast made it possible for troops, including the
Fort Hood-based Army 4th Infantry Division and 3rd Armored Cavalry
Regiment, to participate no matter where they are in the world.
"We are excited about the opportunity to salute our troops and
present soldiers, families and music fans with a platform where
they can experience great music and interact with one another live
online," said Aric Berquist, CEO and Founder of SyncLive.
