"May I express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your associates, for the kind manner in which you have ALWAYS dealt with questions, my requests and me! I deeply appreciate the God given talent you all possess, and know without a doubt, you have touched many hearts and changed many lives by sharing your music. I have spread your name far and wide to anyone who will listen and praise the work you all do....I would like to share an excerpt from an email I received from a parent after our program:
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! The program was fantastic. We enjoyed it very much. We loved the music and the narration. We even shed a few tears. It was very touching. As we reflect on last night's program, we feel more patriotic, more inspired to do good, more grateful and more blessed. Natalie has been talking nonstop at home about this program. We feel she has learned much about America in preparing for it."

"I don't know how to thank you enough for putting together this wonderful program...My class presented a very remarkable program which about 800 people viewed and were awed. I've never had so many compliments from children before saying how touched they were...This program will be one that they'll remember the rest of their lives...Thanks again and know of my heartfelt appreciation."

"Perhaps I shoud ask your age along about now! I've been listening to your wonderful tapes for ten years - I hope retirement never crosses your minds. I'm going to be teaching these songs as long as I'm breathing! There are always new little ones who are now following in their brother's or sister's footsteps and who want to learn the songs! And your new material is awesome...What an impact you have had upon so many lives."

"I teach a multiage class of 4th, 5th and 6th graders in Idaho Falls. Last night, along with two primary multi-age classes (1st, 2nd, 3rd grades) my student's performed your "Heroes" program for Veterans Day. It was a HUGE success. We have been told dozens of times that we should have taped the program and sent copies of the tape to service men and women overseas. People were overwhelmed by the program....Your program is awesome and was so easy to prepare. Keep up the great work. We at Sunnyside Elementary in Idaho Falls LOVE your programs. Thanks!

"...I'm pleased that so many beautiful, wonderful, concepts have been put to music and will be shared with about a thousand people in our two schools. Your songs are about taking responsibility for protecting our freedons, doing the right thing, expressing gratitude through active patriotism, serving, solving problems together. I am SOOOOO excited!

"I've been thinking a lot this week about the fine patriotic program our students participated in last Thursday and Friday...Please know I appreciate your unselfish and dedicated effort. The clever lyrics, beautiful orchestration and meaningful dialogue - all blended into one masterful presentation. I'm enclosing a copy of a letter I received yesterday from the grandfather of one of our students. It touched me to the core:
"Dear Principal Bingham, It has taken me a few days to do some careful thinking about how to express my deepest appreciation for the remarkable program your school presented for our enjoyment...The emotions which stirred me as I listened and watched, overflowed as tears finally refused to be denied and controlled....Although some of the kindergarten children may not grasp their roles in life, they nevertheless typify the strength of all nations. I know the beautiful lesson your program gave us, stressed the the value of remembering events of the past so as to strengthen the hopes for our future. I thank you from the bottom of this old heart for all of your hard work and love....Alan Wagoner, Capt. US Army Ret.
Best Regards,

"This thank you for your wonderful music is long overdue. Every year our school district has a special Veteran's Day program and each school is assigned a musical number. At Hooper School (4-5-6 grades) we do your songs. One year we did "Light of Liberty." The students were dressed in red, white and blue t-shirts and sat in the shape of a flag. Each student brought a flashlight- those in red shirts had red cellaphane over their flashlights, etc.. The next year we did "Thank You Military" and this time we used your visual aide. There was not a dry eye in the room when we finished. The community remembered it long after we preformed and I still hear comments on how it touched their hearts. I just want to say thank you for all the music. People tell me they look forward to coming each year. The students love the music and so do I. The values that your songs teach are very much needed in today's society. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. God Bless You.
