American Heart Movie

If you haven`t heard, what started out as a little concert in Northampton Mass turned into a Movie...American Heart. Dave Mech and Doug Potoksky went to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC where they met Cpl. Josh Sparling and his dad Mike. (Thanks to the Eckers) They interviewed troops and then traveled to NYC on 9-11-07 and to Woodstock NY. What they found was a six month slice of American Pie, a piece of American Heart.

First Aid for our Troops has joined forces with America`s Wounded Heroes which was started by Josh and his dad. Josh and his dad. A portion of the proceeds of the film will go to America`s Wounded Heroes, helping Soldiers and their families when they need it most.

You can donate directly at www.americaswoundedheroes.org!!

The Premier of American Heart will take place iat The Tinker St. Conema in Woodstock, NY, on April 11, 2008 at 9:00 pm and April 12 at 2:00 pm. go to www.tinkerstreetcinema.com or email Dave at ccobrecords@aol.com
