"The Patriotic Spirit... DVD is truly another masterpiece! Hayden is beautiful, graceful and so very talented. It is a spiritual experience to watch her `sing' the beautiful songs with her soul." M. Olbinski, N.Y.

"The 'Patriotic Spirit' was so lovely it brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait for all my family to see "A Silent Night" at our family gathering on Christmas Eve. My deaf niece and her husband get a little left out sometimes. I will be ordering 'A Praising Spirit, Vol. I soon, and Vol. II later. Thank you. C. Elkins, MO

"We have loved Silent Night and Patriotic Spirit. My 12 year old daughter was very interested in learning ASL and these DVDs have improved her fluency and grace in speaking in this beautiful language. Thank you for your wonderful work. We look forward to getting the next set of DVDs and continuing to learn. Your DVDs truly show the beauty of the Signed expression." C. Eggers, SD

"The Patriotic Spirit" is a beautifully signed video. Hayden Riley signs with so much elegance and emotion that it is truly a work of art. The option to watch the songs in slow motion is an excellent learning tool. With so many great patriotic songs and such wonderful music, this video is highly entertaining for both deaf and hearing individuals." Kelly Simpkins Purchasing Harris Communications

"I first received Silent Night DVD and was amazed at how truly beautiful ASL really is. Of course it does help having Hayden performing them. I was taking beginning ASL class when I received Silent Night DVD and took it to show the instructor the packaging. She went on your website and bought one for herself. I have just received The Patriotic Spirit and am once again amazed ;-) Hayden is magnificent! Thank you both for such wonderful DVDs. Please keep the great DVDs coming and I will continue to purchase them. They really help me with my studying too :-)" P. Homer, CA

"I received the Patriotic Spirit last night. I LOVE it. It is so well done. Thank you so much for doing it. Please don't stop. I hope you are making more DVDs... with contemporary songs maybe. Whatever you do.... I will buy it! I will be ordering the other three DVDs soon! I am learning sign language and it is such a good learning tool for me. We have to sign songs in our class and when I see the other students I am going to tell them about the DVDs. Signing songs is a great way to learn!!! Thank you again!" L. Gammons, NY

"I purchased the Christmas and the Patriotic DVD and they are quite wonderful. They are easy to follow and move me almost to tears. Thank you." E. Wright, MI
