I just finished watching the official music video for City of Angels, and I think it made me realize that... I don't think I could ever elaborate, or find enough words or share my love for this band enough, to explain just how much they have done for me. And its so strange because, me being a person that has never had the opportunity to shake Jared, Shannon, or Tomos hand and just say thank you from the bottom of my heart,

well, I sure owe a HUGE part of my life, and I owe all of who I am to them, for not even having the opportunity to say, Hi. My name is Allison, You guys are my heroes, and you've made every dream that I've ever had possible, just because you believed in me, without even knowing me. The closest friends that I've ever had, our bond came to us through this band, and when I was in middle school and felt worthless, I discovered this band if almost by fate, or destiny, and their music, and this family, the echelon, and the band themselves, helped me realize that I don't have to be anything but what I want to be.

And of course they never say how to reach your dreams, and they never say exactly what to do because... Well that trip, that path is for you to decide and for you to imagine, to create, to destroy and recreate. This life is your own, and if you're spending it living up to others expectations rather than your own, You need to think, what do YOU really want. This life is yours. There are people all around this earth that don't even know your name, and they'd be more than willing to give you a hand. I would like to think that I'm one of them.

Thirty Seconds To Mars is more than a band.

Its a tittle, its a home, a shelter for broken hearts, and lost souls.
and the Echelon are the embodiment of Love, lust, Faith, and Dreams.

We are the Echelon, and we are here together under one tittle that binds us together. I love each and ever one of you, and I hope that this band helps you every day for the rest of your life. I hope that when times are tough and you don't know what to do, you open your ears to the sound of their music, and let your heart beat with the beat of the drums, and forever be connected with this beautiful and wonderful family.



It's been a while since I've done anything for the group, and I'd love to say that I promise that I'll continue to be active, but I cant really guarantee that, so I'll just say this, Whenever you guys need me, I'm just a message away. Thank you all so much for making this group possible. It truly is a wonderful thing.


Forever more,
~Sora Allison Martinez

Wow, this is powerful. I really can relate to this...
I went to their concert in Tucson Arizona with VIP ticket... I wrote a personal letter. They were kind enough to take a time. Okay a letter? Yeah that sounds weird, why would they take time to read it, right? But allow me to share the letter I wrote.

"I wrote this, because I knew I wouldn't be able to speak to you.

I'm hard of hearing... when I listen to music, I can't understand most of the lyrics, or hear the voices at all. But your band is different. Somehow, your music finds it's way right to the bottom of my heart. The first time I listened to "A Beautiful Lie", I instantly felt connected.

Jared, you have the voice of an Angel... a voice like no other. Shannon, a drummer that knows no boundaries, and no limits... you take this band to a point that is impossible for others to achieve. Tomo, no living soul could replace the way you play in this band.

All of you together, have brought this to life... and created hope for us. You have created a huge family all over the world... not by blood, but by hearts. Not everyone can understand that, or see it, but that's what makes our family special. I wrote this, based on my experience with every one of your songs, and short films... and seeing the impact you have on others;  "Thirty Seconds To Mars' finds it's way beyond our hearing, and through our eyes... they find their way into our souls' secret places."

I had always dreamed of being able to feel connected to music... and you made that dream come true. People scoffed when I said that I would meet Jared, Shannon, and Tomo... but I was determined to find a way to express my thanks to each one of you, for changing my life and accomplishing something that I had previously believed was impossible.

Man. I owe you guys. And I just can't express it enough.

You guys have been strong... And stay strong. We, your family, are on your side, all the way.

I thank each one of you, Thirty Seconds To Mars."
