 
Lead Singer Tony Oros takes the Olympic Flame
in San Jose, CA on 18 January, 2002
Oros was selected for the patriotic nature of his musical endeavors.
Through Los Angeles’ AKA Productions, Oros has performed for
American troops in over twenty countries on four continents.
In addition, Tony has performed the National Anthem for the Chicago
Bears and other professional sports franchises.
As part of Chevrolet’s sponsorship program, Tony
was nominated to be a Torchbearer by elementary school teachers Maria Howard
of Moorpark, CA and Linda Moreland of Oswego, IL, whose 3rd grade
class he addressed during American Education Week (Nov. 2001).
Moreland on why she nominated Tony: Young
people today need a positive role model, and Tony Oros is one. His
message of individual responsibility to set and work towards goals is one of
the reasons I nominated Tony to be a torch bearer. He is truly a
person who loves his country and has showed it by entertaining the troops
and telling school children about it. Not only does his music reach
out to the young, but his life exemplifies what is good in Americans
today.
Maria Howard’s reasons for nominating
Oros: Inspired by his
grandfather, a World War II veteran (Lewis Popp of Aurora, IL), Tony
expresses his patriotism by using his musical talent to bring a little of
the USA to our troops overseas. His performances are a tribute to the
men who serve their country now, and to one who served his country
three wars ago. Carrying the Olympic torch is an extension of Tony's national
pride, and it will make his grandfather very happy.
