North Bend martial arts instructor Jim Curtis is putting out a patriotic poetry album.

Curtis was given authorization by the United States Marine Corps Band to use their version of the Marine Corps Hymn.

The poetry CDs cost $29. Ten dollars from each sale go to the North American Self-Defense Association’s Combat Veterans Assistance Fund to help out Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans that are in need of financial assistance.
