Soldiers

Sorry guys this has nothing to do with football, as the title suggests its to do with the army so please give it a read 
Basicly, as some of you may know or not know, thier is a singing group called "The Soldiers". These guys are 3 serving soldiers that also sing professionally. None of the singing and the fame has gone to any of thier heads (i know them all personnally as 1 is my cousin and i have worked for them), and they still class thier job as serving soldiers as thier 1st job and could be called up to war at any time.
Thier 1st album, Coming Home, which was released last year got to number 5 in the album charts beating big names like Usher etc. and went double platinum. But, the single Coming Home failed sadly and didnt make the top 40.
They then went on a sell out uk tour, which was highly successful and never expected to be that popular.
They are due to release thier 2nd album on the 25th october, this is called "Letters Home"
The main single and album name "Letters Home" actually comes from 1 of our fallen soldiers last letter home to his family and girlfriend that he had wrote to be sent to them on his death, and the family gave the group thier blessing to turn this into a song.
Now all profit made from these albums and singles goes to the charities: Help For Heroes, The Royal British Legion and the newly named Soldiers Charity.
So lets show these boys that they have the support of us and get them to number 1 guys!
The songs are amazing, Letters Home even tugs at my heart strings and im a 19year old!
If you are intrested in buying the album then it is available for pre order on Amazon

If you have read this then by all means thankyou guys, i know were all mad football fans but still i wanted to do my part in getting the guys advertised to people who may not know about them and how much the actually do for the British Army.
Also heres a link of more of the story done by the BBC:
