  • Sister's Music Video Goes National 
    Reported by: Blake Wood / WCIA 3 News

      SPRINGFIELD - Two sisters are taking their message of hope to a big screen near you.
      The pair wrote the song "Price of Peace" to show the struggle families face when a loved one is deployed. Now they have their own music video.
      Friday movie theaters across the country will show the music video.
      13-year-old Alyssa Gaddis wrote the lyrics after a deployment ceremony. Her father is a member of the National Guard. He took those words to a composer who added music and the National Guard took notice.
      They paid for Alyssa and her 16-year-old sister Cassy to travel to Nashville and shoot a music video. Both know the pain of having a family member serving.
       The girls are in good company Kid Rock and Three Doors Down also have National Guard music videos.
      The girls have been singing together for about 5 years, but this was the first song Alyssa ever wrote.
      The girls already have a theater picked out for Friday. They plan to have a front row seat to the big premiere.

    You can download the video at: www.nationalguard.com/priceofpeace


    You can catch the music video airing before movies at several Central Illinois theaters. The video will start appearing on May 22, 2009 and run through June 11, 2009.

    Central Illinois Movie Theaters:
    Carmike Beverly 18 Champaign
