We've got some of the biggest singing acts in the nation here to entertain you. Let's make this a positive celebration, have a good time, grab a beer or two, enjoy the show. We can get back to our lives and the Foundation work tomorrow. This rally is meant to be a coming together in fellowship and to celebrate our cause. "I'll turn it over to the Master of Ceremonies but before I go, let me remind you of the serious work we do as members of the Foundation. Our mission to spread understanding with our words and action, to live up to the three pillars. To always deal with our friends, business associates, and especially our families with Respect, Loyalty, and Trust."
