Patriotic Country 2 is the follow-up to 2004?s popular debut, Patriotic Country. It serves the dual purpose of providing entertainment for country music fans as well as raising awareness for the Armed Services YMCA, a charity supporting the families of junior enlisted military personnel. Patriotic Country 2 features 17 popular, patriotic-themed songs from today?s hottest stars and the legends of country music. Patriotic Country 2 is filled with chart-topping favorites including Alabama?s "Down Home" and Darryl Worley?s "Have You Forgotten," both of which rose to #1 on Billboard?s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Other songs such as Buddy Jewell?s "Sweet Southern Comfort" and Aaron Tippin?s "You?ve Got to Stand for Something" have topped the Billboard Hot Country Recurrent Chart. American music for American heroes, Patriotic Country 2 is an uplifting project, helping to unite the nation behind a vital, common cause: support for our troops and military families. Artists appearing on Patriotic Country 2 are thrilled to be involved with this important national project. Aaron Tippin says "We are so blessed in America. Here?s a nice way to say thank you to the people who guarantee our freedom, and to remember the enormous sacrifices their families make." John Conlee, who dedicates the Army?s offical new anthem, "They Also Serve" to the CD, agrees. "I feel so strongly about this. We have to do everything we can to support the families of our men and women in uniform." In addition to helping Americans remember the sacrifices our troops make every day, Patriotic Country 2 will raise awareness of the Armed Services YMCA. S. Frank Gallo, RADM USN (Ret.), National Executive Director of the Armed Services YMCA explains, "The Armed Services YMCA works tirelessly to enrich the lives of the families of junior enlisted military personnel. We are proud to be involved in this incredible effort, and are delighted to have the support and enthusiasm of all Americans who seek new ways to show their appreciation for our young men and women in uniform." The Armed Services YMCA has branches located on or near 34 U.S. military installations around the world and serves more than 450,000 people each year.
