In 2005, the musical atmosphere buzzed with a unique kind of electricity as "Rockin' the Corps" took center stage, not just as a concert but as a heartfelt salute.
The concert was designed to show appreciation to the United States Marines and Sailors returning from the Iraq War. The concert went beyond melodies; it was a testament to valor and sacrifices. Join ParadeDeck.com in saluting the incredible dedication of those who serve and have served.
With powerhouse performances from musical favorites like Beyoncé and Destiny's Child, Kiss, Ted Nugent, Godsmack, and Darius Rucker with Hootie & The Blowfish, to name a few, the night was electrified with artistry.

Fast forward to today, as we gear up to re-experience that magic. ParadeDeck.com, in a commendable partnership with Meteor17, is set to rebroadcast this iconic concert on September 6th. The reason isn't just nostalgia but a profound commemoration of the very essence that led to the initial concert – recognizing and honoring the brave.
Yet, as we approach the 18th Anniversary it's essential to remember that thousands of service members, some of whom were in the audience that day, still grapple with PTSD resulting from the war. The concert isn't just a tribute to their service but also a reminder of the ongoing battles they face daily.
As we tune in again to "Rockin' the Corps," let's not just sway to the tunes but also let the spirit of gratitude, recognition, and ongoing support resonate in each note. Here's to the brave, yesterday, today, and always.
