Operation: Sound Off! Remembers Our Fallen

As we close another Memorial weekend, full of friends, loved ones, parades and burgers, we are reminded of how wonderful it is to live in the United States of America.  These moments we shared this weekend, and every day of our lives, came at a price many of us can't even conceive.

As hopefully we've done throughout this weekened, and every day, let's pause once more in thanks and rememberance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Let's earn it!

Thank you to all who serve.  Thank you to the families of those who serve.  A special thanks to those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty.

Here's to the memory of our heroes...

Still In The Fight Campaign to Salute Our Wounded Heroes with Art & Music

Please support this wonderful cause!

Operation: Sound Off Artist Sal Gonzalez Featured On Trophy Quest and at TBC Retail Annual Convention


OSO artist, Sal Gonzalez, was a featured guest at this years annual TBC Retail convention in Orlando, FL. As one of our many military heroes, Sal was honored by TBC Retail Group CEO, Orland Wolford, and given a special spotlight during the main rally to perform his powerful hit, "Heroes."

Sal's relationship with TBC started only a couple weeks prior to the convention. Through the efforts of Operation: Sound Off!, Sal was featured on The Outdoor Channel show, Trophy Quest, whose title sponsor is Service Central, a division of TBC Retail Group. OSO, with the assistance of Southwest Airlines, flew Sal's father in from Los Angeles, and the father and son team, along with the Trophy Quest crew, TBC CEO, Orland Wolford and Sr. Vice President of Purchasing, Lynn Parker, all spent two days fishing on Dale Hollow Lake, KY. They were hosted by NHRA driver, Johnny Gray. They didn't catch much fish, but what they did walk away with was an amazing show for Trophy Quest and their upcoming "Beyond The Battlefield" show, and they all gained an immense respect for Sal.

After learning Sal's story and hearing his amazing voice, Orland didn't hesitate to invite Sal to perform for the entire TBC Retail family. And that he did! His dynamic and soulful performance touched the lives of everyone in attendance.

Many thanks to everyone in the TBC Retail Group family, to John Wilson, and the entire Team Trophy Quest for their continued support of Sal, Operation: Sound Off!, and all the deserving men and women of the United States Armed Forces.
