Liberty for All--A Musical Journey features sounds of the "President's Own" United States Marine Band performing such inspirational patriotic tunes as "God Bless America," "The Stars and Stripes Forever" and "The Star Spangled Banner."

This interactive CD-ROM was released by Altissimo! Recordings as a joint project with MENC: The National Association for Music Education. A portion of the project was funded by a grant from The Lockheed Martin Corporation.

These never-before-released live musical performances trace America's history from the American Revolution through the twentieth century. The enhanced CD See CD Extra.-ROM provides insight that places the musical selections within a historical time line. The compilation includes an introduction by Army General Tommy Franks (Ret.). Contributing narrations to the CD from the six historical eras feature Grammy award-winning artist Amy Grant, Country Music Association award winner Chely Wright, Academy Award-nominated actor and director Gary Sinise and Grammy award-winning producer Richard Marx.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the CD will go to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation of volunteer men and women dedicated to providing financial assistance in the form of scholarships for higher education to deserving sons and daughters of United States Marines and children of former Marines.
