| WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2005--HOOAH!!! Radio, a free Internet-based radio station that salutes soldiers and supports their families, today announced its official launch. Staffed by live volunteer DJs that are comprised of U.S. military veterans, HOOAH!!! provides a wide variety of music and entertainment that is designed to appeal to listeners of all ages. HOOAH!!! offers an opportunity for friends and loved ones to dedicate songs to the troops through the online e-request and dedication page, providing them a real-time connection to deployed military. In the short time HOOAH!!! has been up and running, several units from across all U.S. military branches have already been tuning in. Located at www.hooahradio.com, HOOAH!!! is a joint creation by Rick Bradley, a veteran of the U.S. Army and his wife Pam. Having served in Operation "Just Cause" in Panama and the first Desert Storm, Rick just saw his own son deployed to Iraq the day after Thanksgiving. "It was always nice to receive postal mail and care packages when I was in the Army, but the reality of just how far away I was kept standing out," said Rick Bradley, founder of HOOAH!!! Radio. "This channel gives us a chance to feel just a bit closer and more connected. I can't even begin to express how many soldiers, families and veterans have already said what a difference this radio station has made for them." HOOAH!!! has also begun working closely with a variety of volunteer organizations dedicated to supporting U.S. troops. This includes education scholarships provider VailArmedForces.com and PatrioticPillowProject.com which provides hand-made pillows to wounded soldiers. Additionally, HOOAH!!! also plans to broadcast live interviews with veterans during Vail Armed Forces Week, January 29th to February 3rd, 2006. The Bradleys are well-versed in homeland security through Rick's full-time job at MissionMode Solutions, a division of InterAct Public Safety Systems. Thus, HOOAH!!! complies with all Operations Security (OPSEC) standards to ensure that all HOOAH!!! content keeps the safety and security of our country and troops at the forefront.
