     Gary R. Smith and REDEEMER RECORD COMPANY proudly presents the first new CD release from Gary in six years. You can now enjoy ALL OF GARY R. SMITH'S #1 HITS on one CD, plus some bonus tracks you've probably never heard!! Many people were involved in bringing this project to its completion. First and foremost we must thank Jesus Christ.  God then brought some very special people into Gary's life that believed in him. We must thank Gary's wife, Mary Katherine; his children, Dawn, Shan, Mark and Libby; his grandchildren Austin, Colston (Cole) and Shandi Loraine. Then God surrounded Gary with people like Fred and Diana Berge, Rich and Rhonda Henderson, Huey P. Meaux, Gene and Micki Farington and Hollywood Motion Picture Producer and my friend Brad Wilson. These people are owed an enormous amount of gratitude.

PRESS RELEASE from Branson News:     
     "Please return Avenue of Freedom Flats."
Flags along the Avenue of Freedom in Branson, MO that have fallen and been retrieved by motorists should be returned to the Branson's Veterans Task Force so that they can be cared for properly.
     It's a beautiful sight where an American flag flies from every lamp post in the median on a stretch of Gretna Road.  Recent wind and bad weather have taken atoll on these flags.  The Branson's Veterans' Task Force certainly appreciates the help from the community and visitors when someone cares enough to stop and pick up the downed flags."
     Those flags should be taken or mailed to the task force office at 138 Pointe Royale Dr., Ste 0, Branson, MO 65615.
    Since 2001 the Avenue of Freedom flags have waved in remembrance of veterans from past wars who died in combat, those Americans who lost their lives on 9/11, and emergency workers who die in the line of duty while trying to save others.  For further info call 417-337-8387.
