I just found out that you have to be a subscriber to Corpus Christi, TX's daily newspaper in order to read their stories. The story they wrote about Zero Platoon is pretty great and the interview they did with a young woman in the Navy who struggles with depression and found a little help from Zero Platoon is enough for all this hard work to be worth it. 

I really wanted to make this story available to you and didn't know how to. Mom to the rescue! What else is new? Of course my proud mama sent me pictures of the the story today, starting on the front page of the local section -- I guess because I will always be a local boy. So, here ya go. Please read it. This is the reason we do this. Click below to see the images and read the story.

I've said it before: I can't thank you all enough. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop. Thanks so much to everyone for your support. Officially on the Indiegogo site we reached 82% of our $5000 goal. But with a couple of mail-in donations, I'm rounding that up to 85. This will be a huge help for our summer tour, but the whole process was a big help in getting the Zero Platoon name out. We added Twitter and Facebook followers and gained some YouTube subscribers, and it's all because you shared with your friends, bands we've worked with shared with their friends, and a couple of blogs and media outlets shared with their readers and viewers. A million thanks to everyone!

We're halfway to our $5000 goal for the Zero Platoon Summer Tour Indiegogo. Thanks to everyone who has supported us in any way -- donations, sharing with your friends, interviewing and writing about us, or just all of the encouraging words we've gotten. YOU are all part of Zero Platoon.
