Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its larger repercussions for our country. In tandem with the video's premiere, the band launched www.5fdp4Vets.com and ignited a special crowd-funding campaign for a jersey entitled 5FDP4VETS "No One Gets Left Behind" on Indiegogo. The campaign raised over $220,000 with proceeds going to organizations that joined forces with the group to raise awareness for veterans suffering from PTSD. Fans who pledged will receive a limited-edition jersey created and designed by guitarist ZOLTAN BATHORY.
