U.S. MARINE MIKE CORRADO RAISES AWARENESS FOR WOUNDED
WARRIORS WITH LATEST SINGLE AND VIDEO, “STILL IN THE FIGHT”
Proceeds to benefit USO Wounded Warrior Family Centers
Active-duty U.S. Marine and multi-genre artist Mike Corrado is
raising public awareness for wounded service members with his latest
single and video, titled “Still In The Fight.”
A nationally recognized singer-songwriter (featured on CNN, ABC, CBS
and in Rolling Stone magazine) Corrado wrote “Still In The Fight” as a
way to draw attention to the struggles many service men and women face
after being wounded in combat. Proceeds from the song benefit the USO’s
Wounded Warrior Family Centers initiative. Visit

The “Still In The Fight” video features Marines who were wounded in
combat during recent tours in Afghanistan or Iraq; veteran Corporal
Aaron Mankin, veteran Master Sergeant William “Spanky” Gibson and Lance
Corporal Kyle Carpenter. Also featured in the emotionally charged video
is the artwork of Marines and combat illustrators Robert Bates and
Michal Fay. Gerard Elmore, who directed Corrado’s 2010 video, “Stand,”
also directed “Still In The Fight,” due to be released in early
September.
“‘Still In The Fight’ is dedicated to our wounded warriors, who have
sacrificed so much for their country, and for their amazing strength,
spirit and resilience,” says Corrado. “Though they may be far from the
battlefield, their fight for recovery continues. For those ‘Still In The
Fight,’ this is their fight song.”
“Still In The Fight” was produced by Noel Golden (Willie Nelson,
Matchbox Twenty, Edwin McCain) and recorded at McCain’s Whitestone
Studios in Greenville, S.C. In 2010, Corrado released his Stand
EP, earning the singer-songwriter critical acclaim and video placement
on CMT.com, CMT Pure and American Forces Television Network. The single,
“Lucky One,” brought attention to the thousands of military veterans
dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
During his musical career, Corrado has opened for artists including
John Mayer, Bon Jovi, Train, Black Eyed Peas and Aaron Tippin. His
military-themed songs have received significant airplay in the Country,
Pop and Rock formats. Corrado received the Bronze Star for his military
service in Fallujah, Iraq, as a result of his deployment following the
Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
