The Blank Check Project is just one way for us to say “thank you” to our nation’s service personnel. Many of the songs in this collection tell the stories of soldier bravery, their willingness to endure the unimaginable, and families that are changed forever. More than 25 of Chicago's top singers, instrumentalists, songwriters, and arrangers have contributed their time and talents to make this CD a reality. 100% of the profits from the first 5000 CDs will go to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which treats wounded soldiers. It is one small way to make a difference for our men and women in uniform, and we hope it is just the beginning. A veteran is someone who wrote a BLANK CHECK made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life."
