Hoping to Inspire the Patriotic Hearts of All Americans "Spirit of America - DVD" Has Been Released

March 2007 — Announcing the official release of the "Spirit of America - DVD" and the story behind its making. Our website www.americathebeautiful.com has been launched to inspire Americans.

Peter Smith sold his production company nearly three years ago and was hoping to slow down some in the mountains on North Carolina. As fate would have it – Peter’s inability to “slow down” has set him off in a new direction of reviving patriotism in America with a Patriotic DVD that before did not exist.

During these times of political unrest and global conflict, Peter saw a need to help remind Americans how wonderful our country truly is. After twenty years in the convention industry, Peter saw the desire to applaud this great country we live in by the great people who live here. Focused on keeping the “Spirit of America Alive”, Peter has produced this amazing DVD video product along with launching AmericaTheBeautiful.com, an online Patriotic Superstore. “These projects have taken flight and evolved into much more than we had ever originally imagined – and we believe Americans will be proud of the results.”

The Spirit of America DVD allows users to select a song, i.e.: America the Beautiful, God Bless America, The Star Spangled Banner, and others; then play them from one of several different options including:
* Music with Video Only
* Music with Video and Female Vocalist
* Music with Video and Male Vocalist
* Music with Video and Children’s Choir
* Music with Video and Lyrics on Screen

This DVD includes beautiful stock video and photo elements combined with recording from the Appalachian State University Orchestra and vocalist performances to create this tribute to America.

When this project began, Peter also sought out online marketing for the video product; which led him to www.AmericaTheBeautiful.com. In no time, this website went from a simple static site that just offered details on the video to becoming an online Patriotic Superstore that offers everything from flags & books to music & banners and flag clothing. In added efforts to increase e-patriotism, we have created a forum area for people to post their thoughts and opinions and talk with others about our nation. Also, there is a section devoted to posting and sharing patriotic home videos where people from every walk of life can take the time to see that this country has never lost its greatest.
