Star-Spangled Spellers: Chrysler Group Employees to Raise Awareness of National Anthem Project

* Employee event welcomes National Anthem Project to Metro Detroit

* Oakland County Executive helps Jeep(R) brand celebrate sponsorship of multi-year initiative to re-teach Americans the words to the national anthem

* Employees to sing national anthem loud enough to be heard across I-75

AUBURN HILLS - June 23, 2006: Nearly 200 Chrysler Group employees, dressed in white Jeep T-shirts, will welcome the National Anthem Project (NAP) to Metro Detroit by creating a formation to spell out the first five words of "The Star-Spangled Banner" - "O say, can you see" - on the front lawn of DaimlerChrysler's Auburn Hills Headquarters on Friday, July 7th during morning drive time. Employees will sing the national anthem loud enough to be heard across I-75.

The "National Anthem Project: Restoring America's Voice" is a multi-year national education initiative created by the National Association for Music Education (MENC) to re-teach Americans the national anthem after a Harris Poll showed that two out of three Americans don't know the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner." The Jeep brand is the National Presenting Sponsor, building upon its 65-year heritage and role in U.S. history.

The five words, to be created with the help of Chrysler Group employees, measure approximately 10 ft. wide by 100 ft. long. Singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" will commence at 6:30AM (EDT); rain or shine.
