Beautiful video!! I am a old friend of the family and grew up with Merry Lee, Troy's Mom. I have only met Troy a couple of times and had the pleasure of spending time with him his last summer at WE FEST. What a wonderful young man he is and was....Merry lee and Kieth had every reason to be VERY PROUD PARENTS!! They lost a son but they have a lifetime of memories. A Small Town Hero is one way to help KEEP & CHERISH THE MEMORIES OF tROY ALIIVE!!

Anna, Your beloved friend will not be forgotten, and his sacrifice honored forever, thanks to your wonderful and loving tribute song to your classmate and friend.

Troy's funeral was the sixth I attended as a Patriot Guard Rider. I'll never forget the sight, as we rode into town, of the Detroit Lakes Perkins' flag flying at half staff.

Please visit my videos: Troy appears at 4:06 .

This is a such a great tribute. I am a friend of SSG Josh Hanson who was killed not long after Troy. This brings back so many memories of that time and all the great people who came to support us. This is an amazing song and I plan to share it with Josh's family. What an amazing song. Thanks again. Jessica
