The Kottonmouth Kings have sold over 2
million records and 1.5 million concert tickets around the
world!
In addition to this incredible news,
the new video for the album's first single "Where I'm Going"
features vocalist Brad X wearing Operation Ward 57's football
jersey!
"Where I'm Going" is a deeply
introspective song about finding yourself says front man Johnny
Richter."
One of the biggest rock bands in the world, 3 DOORS DOWN took time to sign autographs and talk with Ward 57 patients before their show in Virginia in December.
They also autographed a Ward 57 T-Shirt that will be auctioned off at a later date. 21 service members, patients and staff enjoyed the concert and for two of them, it was their first concert ever.
Special Thanks to 3DD manager, Phin Daly for making this happen!

Now in its second year, a diverse group of people joined forces to promote Operation Ward 57. People who might find themselves in opposition politically, religiously or socially, contributed to accomplish fundraising goals and help those in need beyond their personal barriers for the sake of fellow humans. Doug Cox, owner of the national street marketing company Poster Giant teamed up with talented designers Alex Lewis and Eoin Doherty of the Mazui Foundation in Seattle to create a one-of-a-kind tour poster for Suburban Noize Records Summer Tour 2008.

The Southern California based Suburban Noize Records and their artists on the "Strange Noize" Tour brought the message of Operation Ward 57 to thousands of young people around the country. Before each show at the meet-n-greet, DJ Product from the band Hed PE talked about our young men and women who have lost a limb and encouraged concert goers to buy a poster and get the artists' autographs. Brother J of X Clan wore the Ward 57 jersey onstage every night!

When asked about the poster design inspiration, Alex Lewis said, "The primary element of our design is based on the official insignia for Walter Reed Medical Hospital. The staff with wings and serpents wrapped around it is known as the Caduceus, an old symbol that has come to be used in medicine with variations. The original Walter Reed insignia shows this symbol on the front of the shield. We moved it to open up the space on the shield and created a little more wicked looking snakes for purposes of a rock poster. We also replaced what was formerly the helmet of Minerva, who was the Goddess of Wisdom and the Patroness of Medicine, with an old style Army medical hat. First used in WWII, crosses were hand painted in a variety of ways to identify medics on the battlefield. The color of the shield is a deep red know as sanguine representing blood. The mountains at the bottom of the poster are a reference to the current military involvement in the middle east."
