Write a letter to a U.S. soldier and get a free Zac Brown Band CD. “Letters for Lyrics” is a unique partnership between Chrysler’s Ram Truck division and the Grammy-winning Zac Brown Band. The goal is to generate one million letters to U.S. men and women in uniform serving around the world.

The CD is “Breaking Southern Ground” and the Letters for Lyrics version features three all-new songs from Zac and the boys.

Every Ram Truck dealership in the USA is serving as a collection point, and letters also are being collected band concerts. The letters will be distributed by Soldier’s Angels, on behalf of Chrysler and the band, which has performed for the troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Persian Gulf.

Soldiers’ Angels is a volunteer-led organization with more than 225,000 members providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, along with veterans and their families
