Tribute To “America’s Best”

The United States of America – is the greatest nation on earth. Our country is the beacon of light to freedom, the liberators of the oppressed and the sword of democracy. Inspired by our nation’s challenges and possibilities, Robert Battis founded The Bangers All American Rock -n-Roll Band® and the Star Spangled Americans Society®. The band was formed to create music which promotes positive messages, supporting our American way of life & culture – Americanism. In an effort to gather America’s patriots and support the men and women of the US Armed Forces “America’s Best”, Robert Battis founded the Star Spangled Americans Society whose mantra is “Ignore Politics & Embrace Patriotism”®. Sergeant Dave Hoffman, is an 18 year active member of the US Army Joint Operations. Sergeant Hoffman inspired Robert to write the song Bigger Than Life©, which the band played for him at an American Legion send-off party prior to his leaving for another tour of duty back to Iraq, in February 2006. Robert received an American Flag from the US Congress, which he gave to Sergeant Hoffman prior to leaving. Robert signed it along with the members of The Bangers Band. Sergeant Hoffman flew the flag for 400 days over the convoy of vehicles his team protected, which supports US bases in Iraq. He returned from Iraq and presented Robert with the flag seen here, along with another flag found on the front cover. The flag on the album cover has 48 stars. This flag flew proudly in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII by the father of a friend of Sergeant Hoffman named Joe Papa. Sergeant Hoffman then flew the flag in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Both of these flags were brought back from Iraq by Sergeant Hoffman, and given to Robert so he could further advocate support of “America’s Best”. Sergeant Hoffman is a true American Hero whom we all have the greatest admiration for. Sergeant Hoffman along with those he serves with are humble, selfless and unwavering. Robert Battis wrote two additional songs I’m Back From Iraq© and Thank God For You© because of his inspirations about Sergeant Hoffman and “America’s Best”. The song I’m Back from Iraq© is about Sergeant Hoffman’s return from Iraq with the flag he protected while protecting us. He risks his life for something Bigger Than his Life…His Country. God Bless Sergeant Hoffman and “America’s Best”!

To All Americans Who Love Their Country:

The Star Spangled Americans Society will be a voice for doing what is right. We'll educate Americans to think differently by promoting working "More as a Team" and having less of a "Me, Myself, and I" mentality. This Society is going to be the "Cure For What Ails America". Because our Society will address and promote what's best for America, and not what's best for special interests, we are raising money with large and small corporations, major sports teams, various religious communities and other affiliations, through sponsorship and donations. The Star Spangled American Society is now raising money for a tour called the

“Unite America Tour™” which will be "Rock'n for the Cure™!

The tour plan will be executed by the Big Bang Entertainment Company, LLC (BBEC), which has produced several fund raisers for the Society, helping our Troops and the Red Cross. The company will produce the tour, and the “Bangers” All American Rock-n-Roll Band”, will perform on the tour. BBEC will also invite other well known artists to perform on tour, which will in addition, bring the American people together. The “Bangers” Band® has been supporting an All American Agenda since its inception. Their website is www.thebangersband.com.

The Society is a 501 (c) 3 "not for profit" company with the Tax ID# 20-3683253.

The tour will become a platform to unify all of America's patriots who love this country and what it stands for. This Society will confront our political system and challenge and guide it to overcome the problems facing this nation. The society will promote its foundation of "Ignoring Politics & Embracing Patriotism®". By doing so, we'll push for all political parties to move to the center, and do what's best for the country and not what's best for their political party, which will benefit the American people. The Society will promote values, character, patriotism and a vision that serves the common good of our country. This Society is being launched to serve the country, not its founder, members, or affiliates. We want to guide the country to operate more intelligently as well as more efficiently. Because we have no allegiance to any special interests, we can take the high road and a long term view of what will serve the country best. I am selecting some of the best thinkers in America to become Charter Members. The goal of the Society is to provide the best solutions for the country's problems as a "think tank" and push the agenda as a "lobbyist" for the IMPROVEMENT of the country. This approach will best serve the poor of this country, the middle class of this country, and the rich of this country. We want to encourage and provide incentives to the rich to help grow the nations most financially challenged, out of their poverty. As you know, great journeys start with ideas and the fuel to get them implemented. We are raising money to build momentum at a greater pace. Your help and support will make this Society a great success. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Robert D. Battis
Founder & Chairman
Star Spangled Americans Society
