PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS!!!!!
I have been shipping rewards not for the past few weeks... If you HAVEN'T gotten your reward you will VERY soon! I will have ALL rewards shipped out by NEXT Friday! Thanks! Fran
Creator Amanda Imler on May 13
I haven't gotten a single thing either. I've seen several updates that things were shipping but I also have got zilch. What's going on?
Creator S Patrick on April 28
Has anything ever been shipped? I have not gotten anything yet.
Creator Stu on April 26
Is there anyway to have the video link sent to me again as I've deleted it when clearing old emails! Or a link to where I can find it.
Creator Eric Moran on March 25
Just watched Battlefield of the Mind and let me say it was a great documentary! It makes you think of all the people who you know that this could happen to them any moment and how you would want them to get the support they deserve. By far in my top 3 favorite Documentary.
Creator Henry Yamamoto on March 25
Thanks Fran I just got it today.
Just FYI though the USPS labeled it short on postage for $1.28. My mailbox store covered so the carrier didn't send it back. In case you hear of other people or you have any sent back to you.
I'm looking forward to watching it.
Creator Michael Golden on March 24
So uh yeah. I guess I should just donate and back this without expecting anything anyway, but the only thing I received was the Aaron Lewis shot out, which was cool even though I met him in person last year. I didn't even see my name in the credits... just wondering why. Good job on completing the project.
Creator Fran Strine on March 24
Hey Henry- Your DVD has shipped.
Creator Henry Yamamoto on March 24
Have all the DVDs been shipped yet? I saw an update that said first ones were being shipped a few weeks ago. I filled out the form, but I'm assuming you're sending in batches?
Creator Rachelle on March 7
I haven't received my address form email yet? Did anyone else request signed DVDs?
Creator Christopher Greenstein on February 4
Just got my completion email and filled it out. Can't wait to watch the movie! I'm a vet (no PTSD), but I've encountered so many who don't get help and so many who don't bother... and so many who are scared to get help because the government will take away their rights (even if they aren't a threat to themselves or others) simply by having the "PTSD" label. The government wastes so much money giving billions of dollars in money and weapons to corrupt foreign countries who hate our guts, yet neglects those here at home who wrote a blank check with their lives. I hope and pray this movie spreads awareness about homeless vets and those with PTSD, and spurs people into taking the right action to help these patriots who sacrificed so much of themselves. Thank you for heading this up and making it happen.
Creator Jordan Oliver Cameron on June 24, 2012
I'm so happy this went over the goal it just shows there are people out there who do care so much and people who do want to get this message out to many more people of the world
And being from England and a backer for this I'm doing my part still to show this out to all my friends and family thank you :)
Creator Tammy Pearsall on June 24, 2012
I am very proud to be a backer on this project. I am an Army wife with my hubby currently serving his 4th tour/deployment overseas. I cannot think of anything more fitting to show my support to him, our Army family that we have made over the years and all soldiers. I am very proud and I hope that after this, more people will realize what is truly going on and begin to show more support of our brave men and women. Much love :-)
Creator Michael Bertrand on June 21, 2012
This is awesome project! I think you need to sale Shame on America shirts!

Being a victim of PTSD, I know the importance of receiving help and raising awareness! Good luck and I can't wait to watch the documentary. much love, Kellie
Creator jamay seabright on June 17, 2012
Fran and Aaron
Congratulations on going above and beyond the goal needed to make this issue aware. As one we can do so much but as a group we can achieve wonderful things like making the film 'shame on America' come to light. I had to back the project twice using 2 emails as I am wanting a copy of this film and then knowing my brother is a huge fan of Aaron Lewis and Staind (we saw him front row and centre at Soundwave in Melbourne Australia) I jumped at the special reward of drumsticks just for him.
It will not be an easy film to make, but it will touch the souls of all those who watch it.
I hope that this project inspires you to find more underlying problems we all face as a society and bring them to light for the world to see too.
Thankyou for letting me be a part of this great cause.
Creator Chad Hartley on June 14, 2012
Thanks to Aaron and Fran! This is a great cause. Many people have no idea about what the lives are like for our troops when the come home. America NEEDs to see this. I'm a huge fan of Aaron and am glad to help with such a worthy cause.
Creator Jake Lockrem on June 14, 2012
I will never be ashamed to call myself an American, this is still the greatest country on earth. However, as a disabled veteran I am ashamed at how our government has not taken care of those who've fought for this country and come back injured. Scars are not always visible, the mental scars from battle are often more damaging than the physical. I support this project and can't wait for this film to see the light of day. Fran, David, Aaron and all others who have backed this project and are involved in getting it made, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a story that must be told.
Creator Johnna Decker on June 13, 2012
I just want to say...THANK YOU!!! All of your hard work and determination in creating this film is wonderful! This film is necessary for an awakening of all Americans!!! My best friends husband wad injured when his convoy was hit by a road side bomb. Before deployment him and his wife ran a business. And was successful at it. The injury threw shratenal at his head causing brain damage. He has forgotten how to do many things...reading and writing is amongst the many many things he and his family has had to overcome. With 3 children, they had to sell the business and move closer to his wifes job so she can care fo him. Their lives are forever changed. I am looking forward to the completion of this film! However hard it is going to be to watch!!!
Creator Fran Strine on June 13, 2012
Sherry, I can't imagine. You guys have no idea the role you play in making this film. Without the support these Men and Women don't have a voice. Thank YOU for the support! : ) -Fran
Creator Sherry Allin on June 13, 2012
Just wanted to say how proud I am to have played a small part in this project and thank you and Aaron for all you do.About a week before my son passed away he came to my home and when he pulled up he honked his horn for me to come out,said "Mom I have the baddest song I want you to hear", It was Aaron Lewis ,"Country Boy".It was the first song I had played at his funeral.He was still such a patriot even having suffered PTSD for many years before loosing his final battle on May 25th 2011 at he age of 26,he would have supported your cause completely.Once again THANK YOU!

Creator LISA RAINEY on June 12, 2012
I think what you guys are doing is Great. Someone needs to shed some light on our veterans. And the struggles they go through. Keep up the good work!. Love your music Aaron.. You have helped me through some rough times. So thank you for that and for letting me know on Facebook about this film.

Creator Nick Hanson on June 11, 2012
I'll be seeing Aaron Lewis (from the Pit) at Bristow, VA on Sept. 2nd for Rockstar Uproar. You go to those Fran?
Creator Fran Strine on June 11, 2012
Yes, we do plan on going to DC to film in Aug..
Creator sociallyantisocial on June 11, 2012
@Fran will you be filming out on the east coast at all?
Creator Fran Strine on June 11, 2012
@sociallyantisocial.... Yes it is... I was at the one here in Northern California last week hold a meeting and it was actually the nicest one I have been to. Meet with some VERY cool, awesome homeless Vets yesterday as we started filming and they get it and LOVE that we are fighting for them!
Creator sociallyantisocial on June 11, 2012
Currently at a VA hospital... It's breaking my heart. Thanks for doing this again.
Creator Brittany Villarreal on June 11, 2012
On the reward tier with the drumsticks, underneath that it says you get a signed poster and all of the above, does that tier also include the drumsticks or are the drumsticks a special reward?
Creator Fran Strine on June 10, 2012
Tauna- I will send out a survey at the end of the drive that will have all the info you need. We can ship to wherever you like : Thanks!
Creator Tauna Clark on June 10, 2012
Are these items being shipped to the billing address? Because what if you want them sent to a different address?
Creator Fran Strine on June 10, 2012
Hey Justin, I think you can? And THANK YOU GUYS MAN!! Thank you so much for supporting!
Creator Justin Mercer on June 10, 2012
This is a great cause and I enjoyed donating, as did my wife. I do have a question though since I've never used Kickstarter. My wife pledged $50 with the drum sticks, and I pledged $75 for the snare drum head. Can we do another pledge of $25 to ensure we get the signed DVD without it wiping out our other pledge? Thanks!
Creator Carolyn Halpin-Healy on June 8, 2012
Donating because it is a great cause and because Alison Caruso asked!
Best of luck,
Carolyn
Creator Alana Hancock on June 6, 2012
As the spouse of a US Army SFC Retired after 22 years and multiple deployments and a mother of a newly commissioned son, I have seen these soldiers come home a changed person. Some of the things they have seen are beyond imagination! Thank you for bringing this issue to the forefront!! You have my support 1000%!!
Creator Primo Martinez on June 6, 2012
100% agree with Brian's comment.
Creator Fran Strine on June 5, 2012
Thanks again for all the comments and stories! We read them all and this week is BIG as we met our goal and I am meeting with a few people this week and next that are going to make a difference!
Creator Brian S Swank on June 5, 2012
It's sad to see that the men and woman that have served to protect our freedom and rights have been displaced by the people that have sent them into battle. It's mind blowing to see them struggling day after day to try and fit into society and live a normal life and inside they struggle with no place to turn to for help.
Why ? well blame it on politicians and not taking care of their own! I stand by to help at any chance to lend a hand to a fallen HERO and his and her family.
You are, what this is country supposed to stand for and some place along the past 30 years we have forgotten the US Constitution and what it stands for and who protects it. GOD BLESS all are service men and woman , Thank You, Thank You, Thank You....
Creator Brandon on June 5, 2012
I love this. What you are doing is for a serious and major issue that I see on a daily basis. I am currently a Sgt in the army and although I do not suffer from PTSD I know many and many of my comrades do. I love serving and wished I could continue to serve for years to come. These troops need more than what is provided. I am medicaly discharging from the army. The Medical discharge process only covers so much of PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries. On top of that not all soldiers are able to come out with things they have done or seen that have affected them in this manner. Y'all are so good for doing this and making it known how serious this issue is. Wish I could have supported more... Thank You.
Creator Duane Tilton on June 4, 2012
I heard Aaron on The Wilkow Majority today. We are a retired military family (Desert Storm and O.I.F) and will always help any way we can. God bless you for showing America what it needs to make a priority. These men and women have put their asses on the line so now comes the time to get off of ours to reach our wallets.
Creator Fran Strine on June 4, 2012
Thats awesome Deb! Great story!
Creator Ryan Lewis on June 4, 2012
Glad to be a part of helping you guys make it. I can't wait to see this film.
Creator Debra Muller on June 4, 2012
Congrats Fran and Aaron! At a guitar show today we had a veteran come into our room, holding a dog with a body harness on that said PTSD Dog and had a medical symbol on it. This is the first I had ever seen one before. He let me hold him while he tried out some amps and pedals of ours and I could see him checking on him ever so often. It just broke my heart seeing someone so young having to go through something like that. When he was done, I handed him back his dog and asked him if he had served and he said "yes I did"...I shook his hand, thanked him for his service, gave him my card and told him to call me personally for a Military Discount...I witnessed it first hand today and I am so happy you are going to be able to do this film now...this story needs to be told.
Creator Ann Horsman on June 3, 2012
This is just wonderful to know that so many people came out to support this! Great job everyone!
Creator Sara Verity on June 3, 2012
Hell yeah! Congratulations on surpassing the goal. This is amazing. I chose to pass on the reward like I said earlier, but is there a way I can buy or watch the documentary when it is done any way???
