I was thinking of antiup!

Go CW! ;D Title: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: OldFatGuy on July 17, 2009, 08:21AM I requested and received permission from Pentagon TV to offer the interview as a free download for our members. It's a very large Windows Media file (>65 MB) so I'm only going to leave it on the server for about a month.
January 2010 update: The file has been removed from my server. Title: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: lovelycherylwinner on July 17, 2009, 08:33AM Thanks Rich. Already downloaded the video. Just one more reason to love the Celtic Woman ladies. Lisa'a comments were so lovely. To thank our troops and give them the gift of Celtic Woman music was awsome.

Title: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: zankoku on July 17, 2009, 08:59AM A better interview I think than GMA. More personal when the interviewer asked about the dresses. Great for the Pentagon to have a site like this. Wish we had had something like that.Our communication was MARS radio.

Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: SANDY on July 18, 2009, 09:42AM I requested and received permission from Pentagon TV to offer the interview as a free download for our members. It's a very large Windows Media file (>65 MB) so I'm only going to leave it on the server for about a month. If you want to save a copy, right click here (http://lisakellyfan.com/cw_pentagon_tv.wmv) and choose "save". Dearest Rich... Thank you so much for this...it is just beautiful! Rich, would you please put this information and link in Méav's Place...we would surely appreciate it. As you know, my youngest son, Jody, is an Army Captain/Chaplain and will deploy to IRAQ in two weeks. So this video from CW is very special to him and to me. He is home for a two weeks of visit with our family and he and I read and listened to this together this morning. It is wonderful. Thank you. Oh, and I notice that there are other Servicemen on the forum. I wish them the very best...our family will pray each day for their safe return home to their loved ones. Again, thank you, Rich!! Sandy [/sub][/color] Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: Gail on July 25, 2009, 08:50PM Thank you for putting that in. I enjoyed hearing them talk, especially Maeraid, since she doesn't sing. Interviews are the time we hear her lovely accent.
Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: Maggie on July 27, 2009, 09:13AM When MC1 Liz Murray asked if the ladies had a message for members of the Military serving overseas, Lisa was very diplomatic.
She said it was nice to know they were able to get "a piece of" the show, thanked everyone for their support of CW, and hoped they (the troops) would be home soon. In Ireland, public opinion regarding the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan in general is not favourable, and there have been protests about Troop Transport Aircraft using Shannon Airport as a refueling stop. However, the fees paid by the US Military have helped Shannon Airport during tough economic times. Ireland is not a member of NATO, and only sends troops overseas as part of a UN Peacekeeping force. Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: tim8284 on July 29, 2009, 11:50AM Well as a re-retired naval officer, I can tell you that CW was introduced and very, very welcomed during the two deployments that I had an opportunity to join (2007 - 2008) with the USS Nimitz Task Force. Part of Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and the Valilent Shield Exercies. Ultimately, CW's YRMU was established as the lights out/shut down of flight operations song played on board at the end of the flying operations for a given day. Not to mention that the CW DVD's, the original, Christmas and Slane Castle verions were shown nearly every night at one or more of the "moive nights" held in the various ward rooms throughout the ship. This was in addition to the hundreds of IPods and small "boom" boxes playing throughout the ship in various berthing spaces. I dare say that during those deployments the Fifth fleet was a CW nation all unto itself. I have already talked with a number of active duty friends who have downloaded the O'America tune and are passing it around the fleet even now.
Only wish CW could have done a USO show onboard while I was serving. Oh well ........ another Irish dream. ::) TM Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: Ggunsailor on July 29, 2009, 04:29PM I thought Lisa's comments at the end were very heartfelt and appropriate. I was thinking of antiup! Me, too. On BOTH thoughts. Once again, CW rocks!Brad Great minds must think alike, because those were my thoughts too. Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: Maggie on July 31, 2009, 02:32AM Well as a re-retired naval officer, I can tell you that CW was introduced and very, very welcomed during the two deployments that I had an opportunity to join (2007 - 2008) with the USS Nimitz Task Force. .....I have already talked with a number of active duty friends who have downloaded the O'America tune and are passing it around the fleet even now. Only wish CW could have done a USO show onboard while I was serving. Oh well ........ another Irish dream. ::) Yes Tim, I remember you posting about CW during your deployment. I think it's great they are popular with Military personnel, in fact you may remember we on this Forum sent CDs and DVDs to Lt.Col. Bruce Allen's First Cav troops in Baghdad, and his son Capt Jason Allen's 2nd Cav Stryker Unit. The music of Celtic Woman helped soothe the jagged nerves of the troops, when they returned from patrol each night. They also enjoyed Chloe's DVD, it is so peaceful, made around beautiful Powerscourt. We took Bruce and his wife to see CW in Jacksonville as a surprise, and to thank him for his service. Rich put together a huge book of messages from Forum Members, which was signed by all the CW Ladies, then he presented it to Bruce at the concert. I have stayed in touch with him and his wife. My old sailor enjoys CW music too. I volunteered with the USO, when they had a welcome center at Orlando Airport. It was great to see everyone stop and applaud the troops. Now the closest USO Center is in Jacksonville. I was driving near Orlando Airport one Saturday, (been to the NEX) when I saw a Galaxy C-5 coming in to land. I turned around, parked in the airport, and went to say "thanks" to those guys. In my post about the Pentagon Channel Interview, I was not implying that Lisa and CW don't love their Military fans, just that Ireland is a "neutral" Country where public opinion can be somewhat different to that in the USA. The ladies have to try to keep everyone happy. This study paper may explain: http://digitalcollections.sit.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1361&context=isp_collection I think you can guess my opinion on that. Tim, thank you for your service in keeping us all safe. PS - I got an e-mail last week, from VF-143 the World Famous Pukin' Dogs, aboard the Carrier on the way home. I am an honorary member of the squadron since 1978, the bar I owned in Palma was their "home from home". I always treated them like family, with great respect. They treated me the same way. They have invited me to their 60th Anniversary Celebration in September, at the Tailhook. http://pukindogs60th.org/index.php?action=reunion (http://www.pukindogs60th.org/content/images/60th_Patch.jpg) Title: Re: CW on the Pentagon Channel Post by: Antiup on July 31, 2009, 06:05AM Tim- On my first tour over here we would also have “lights out” to the CW ladies. Nothing can calm a bunch of rowdy guys after 14-18 hour work day better then CW. I do agree with you that they should do a USO show. I would love to volunteer as an escort around the camps. ;D ;D
O/T Maggie- I have been through Romania, Germany and Iceland coming home from these tours and we were thrown into a very small holding area waiting refuel and resupplies. (Basically stretch our legs) In these locations we were lucky to get to a small gift shop, if they were still open. Shannon is very different from what I have heard because the soldiers can walk around the airport. I found the paper very interesting indeed. I actually read the whole thing. I just had a soldier go through the Shannon Airport and asked her thoughts about it. I will save it for a conversation over a CW concert or ALS walk but very interesting response. Honestly never knew it was an issue. Wealth of Knowledge you are. Back on topic I just watched the clip again. ;D |
