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.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com is the property of John Ondrasik and is administrated by John and the Five For Fighting management team at Jim Grant Management.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

Moving ans stiring. I appriciate very much the efforts and heart put into the video and song. As one who gave some (and some give all) I know the true meaning of your message. Many Americans have no clue and never will, until; Until they give to God and Country for four or more years. A small price to pay for the "Freedoms" you all enjoy. Once paid, you know that freedom is not what you once beleived it was. Once in combat, you always know the price of freedom. I pray all never have to know, really know, but those of us who do, will never forget. A fine tribute. Thank-you. "Rock of The Marne"

It's one thing to "sing and strum a guitar" about freedom, we got lots of those kind of liberal American freedom loving "free loaders" out there!
When will those "singers and strummers" turn their songs and guitars in for a rifle?!
The answer to that one is easy, "NEVER"!!!
Because your Dad, Brother or some family member served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America doesn't give you "free loaders" a free pass to the freedoms and way of life that many thousands of us have served, fought and died for!!!

This is the best video i have seen in a long time. My father and several brothers served in the armed forces. I am so glad that they were never in during war time, but I know if they had been they would have done their job just like the men and women are doing now. I support them in every way. Keep doing what you need to do and I pray they all come home soon and safe.

to Daren King:
If you were to ask most of us troops here in Iraq what we think, I believe you would find most want to be here to do the job...an most highly support OUR President Bush. I have been here since June and have volunteered to extend. Please keep the politic out of this great video presentationl.
to John Ondrasik: Thank you for this and all of your support.

BOOTS ON THE GROUND?
“Political correctness”
Seems to be the thing these days
The politicians send them there
But, it's the Soldier who pays.
These folks are our neighbors
And Sons and Daughters, too
Some are Moms and Dads
Or may be a Friend to you.
They are really human beings
Sent to fight and maybe even die
They're more than, “Boots on the ground.”
At the least, to you and I!
But those who send the orders
And the politicians in DC
Seem to only count the numbers
Of body counts and casualty.
They are somebody's loved one
They'll be missed when they are gone
More than a number on a list
That just goes on and on and on.
We need to make those in power
Realize the Soldiers plight
For calling them, “Boots on the ground.”
Just really is not right.
So, in the name of “correctness”
All should call them what they are
Troops and Warriors who protect us
Both here at home and afar.
Not respected as they should be
And it's time all came around
To knowing all those Heroes are
More than just, “Boots on the ground.”

Can I get this video to pass around my school...I know a few people who need to watch this, and maybe if i can get the school to put it in our morning news, they might stop and think about what they are saying.
If i could get this video that would be awesome thanks

Wow is right, I got chills all over again. I support President bush, the troops and the mission. That unified support is the only REAL support there can be. To liberals like Daren King who try to pick and choose their support, you are fake phonies and are doing a huge disservice to our country and troops!!
Don't you idiots understand that the toppos choose voluntarily to go into battle, even for dolts like you who will never get it?? This has nothing to do with President Bush,but your buddy clinton who you foolishly suppoprt so vihamently, who actually got us into this mess, who caused 911 by not getting Bin Laden when he had the chance in the nineties.
Get on your knees every day and thank God you live in a country where you can be so ignorant and carefree and believe what the communist media tells you, all because of our nations intelligence, military and a true commander in chief that doesn't stick out his thumb in the air to see which way the wind blows before he does what the public tells him to!!
