Fall from Grace Tshirt Operation

08/31/07
.
(PR) Seattle based rock band, Fall from Grace (FFG) have climbed to the top of 7,000 bands in a nationwide competition for America’s best unsigned band. The competition turned into a reality TV show hit airing weekly on Fuse TV, www.fuse.tv. Bodog Music Battle of the Bands is the story of 10 unsigned bands touring the country as they vie for a $1 million record deal. Battle finalists FFG, will use their new-found TV audience and this opportunity to help America’s Wounded Warriors by joining forces with Operation Ward 57.

The four young rockers of FFG were moved when approached by personal friend and founder of the national fund/awareness raising effort, Deborah Semer. Ward 57 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington DC, home of “Warrior Care” is filled with those that have been torn apart both physically and mentally from the Iraq war. They are taking months to recover only to be discharged to substandard housing for even more recovery time, with some taking years. This is the Ward of the forgotten.

In 2006, two nursing staff of Ward 57 created a T-shirt to give their amputee patients a morale boost and a sense of belonging. When Semer’s husband SGT Scott Cameron was stationed there as a nurse in January of 07, Semer learned first-hand about the numerous problems facing the hospital and patient care on Ward 57 in particular. SGT Cameron and Semer revised the shirt and started this national effort through NFL player Kerry Carter’s not-for-profit, Think Big Foundation after a personal visit by Carter to a young amputee on the ward from Seattle and….a very big Seahawk fan.

Members and fans of Seattle’s FFG will wear the WARD 57 T-shirts during their upcoming promo events, rehearsals and at the live TV finale in Los Angeles on Sept. 5th at the House of Blues. Whether they win or not is up to America, however FFG is committed to educating and recruiting other musicians to support the efforts of OPERATION WARD 57.
