How This Works
For all donations, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will distribute approximately 90% of money donated to the selected charities. This is determined primarily by the amount of views per charity and available funds. The 10% expense includes Revver.com's .01/view webhosting cost, California Community Foundation's 1.25% administrative expense and site maintenance. Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's Board of Directors.
For videos which have received 30,000 or more views, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com may elect to add a click through advertisement at the end of such videos to defray web hosting expenses. As our objective is to donate the most funds possible to our charities, this will eliminate substantial expenses incurred by revver's .01 per view charge on videos with millions of views.

Some would deny the truth in this phrase: "There are a lot of people who can't testify about the threat that tyranny (or terrorism) poses because their all dead. The U.S. will stand in their place, (of the ones terrorized or tyrannized) as a duty to our fellow man, to bring justice to those (terrorists or tyrants) who would deny their (all the ones who are killed by the injustice of tyranny or terrorism) right to exist". Liberty's ring of truth, is only heard by a very select few, and call to defend liberty is heard by even less and to give the last full measure of devotion even less still. In what way does the preceding paragraph marginalize their service in the U.S. military? The correct answer is that it dose not marginalize it, it defines it. Service in the U.S. military includes many risks. If we fail to make the connection that Liberty is a treasure of great price, a cause that many in the U.S. armed forces have given their last breath for, on one hand, and on the other, is that Liberty is tyranny's worst enemy. In that: justice will be brought to those, who would deny their {the tyrannized} right to exist, by those who exercise the right (of free speech) to call tyranny by its true name, "evil", bring justice to bear, and hope that truth has meaning.

I am proud to have seen this heart rendering movie. I thank it's creator and those who make it possible for our people to see it. I served 24 years in Federal service, and I will never forget the sacrifices made for me and many other veterans.I know that I would not be here except for another who gave his life for. Thanks for all you do.

I am humbled that there are people in our country who willingly through themselves in the line of fire everyday to save my life. They come home broken in both body and spirit and this country should take care of them for the rest of their lives. I am proud to be the daughter of one of them.

Outstanding tribute to all who have served and a motivator to those who still will serve. God Bless this great country I have given 24 years too. In the twilight of my retirement, I could not be prouder to have been in this uniform and in service to a finer Nation. Airborne!

This is one powerful video. I come from a family that considers military service a proud and honorable thing. I am an Air Force retiree with 125 combat sorties in Vietnam, and I have a son who is also an Air Force retiree (Desert Storm). This song makes me believe that all the uncles, cousins and immediate family that served from World War I to Desert Storm did not serve in vain.

My father fought three tours in Vietnam before I was born. I am grateful that he came home and that our country now gives it's soldiers the respect they deserve. They put thier lives on the line for us everyday. Every person in this country should be grateful for the freedom they enjoy every day. Without my beloved father and the millions of soldiers before and after him, we'd be nothing. EVERY time you see a soldier or a vet, you should thank them. It's the least we can do.

God Bless our Warfighters (active duty and retired)...if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have all the freedoms we have today!

God forgive us for being so self-absorbed. May we never forget those brave men and women who believe in fighting for the liberties that we take for granted, and may God bless them abundantly. Thank you each and everyone!

My nephew is currently serving in Iraq and I'm so proud of him. He is giving up his freedom for ours. I know it must be hard on all of those men & women serving our country over there so we may all live free here in America but it's even harder on the families of those serving. Any one who does not have any family serving our country will never know the fear we live with each day until they have walked in our shoes. I'm proud to say I'm an AMERICAN and I'm even more proud of my ARMY nephew SPF. GARY DORAN !!!!!!!

My son proudly serves in the USAF. He is proud of his duty to protect and serve. I pray everyday for his wife and family. They do pay a price too. Thanks to all soldiers - because of you we are truly free. Your sacrifice is more appreciated than you will ever know. God Bless America! Comoe home safe.

My father was WWII Navy veteran, my husband is a retired EOD naval officer who joined during Vietnam, two nephews served in the Navy and another nephew is currently serving in the Army. I give credit to these brave young people that choose to serve for what they believe in. Without them, we wouldn't have a flag. I still believe in this great nation and and there aren't enough words to express the graditude I have for anyone who has or is serving in the military. This video says it all.

My husband served honorably in the Marine Corps with a tour of duty in Vietnam. Unfortunately, due to complications from Agent Orange, my daughter lost her father and I lost my beloved on Christmas Eve, 2005. I also lost a brother in Vietnam during the TED offensive. He was only 18 years old. An uncle was lost in WWII on a ship in the Navy which was torpedoed; he was 22 years old. God Bless our Veterans. I am a proud member of the auxiliaries of AMVETS, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and received an honorary membership from the Vietnam Veterans Club. We must never forget those who died for us and fought for us to have the freedoms that we have. Thank you for a beautiful song and video.
