@lutheran54 Hi and thank you for listening and posting. Appreciate your support!

Sweet Helene, you have done it! This song is simply remarkable... we were moved! It's so good to see you, my old friend, doing this... thanks for all you do!

@crappycove123 Thanks so much. I sent a message to your inbox...would love to hear back from you!!

Thank you for sharing this song, Ms. Cronin. My husband has served three tours and has lost countless friends. He had the opportunity to see you perform in Louisville. He was so moved by your song - he came home and immediately shared it with me. It touched my heart, as well. As a psychotherapist, I treat "the invisible wounds" of our Soldiers at Fort Campell, KY Warrior Transition Unit. I am so profoundly grateful for all they sacrifice for us - "lucky us". Thank you for honoring them.

@ProudWife123 You are so welcome. The Louisville Medal of Honor event was a very special evening. I'm so glad you found the video! Blessings on you and your husband for the work you do. Thank you both.

i have spent 42 months deployed... and this song SAYS it all... the pain and regret i feel... reflect in this song... all my "peers" that didnt serve, that met the girl of their dreams while attending college, and i was over there... lucky you

My boyfriend of a year and a half is halfway around the world :( I miss him very much, but Im proud of him for choosing to fight for our country. I love my Marine. Thank you for this song, it gets me by when Im feeling lonely. It makes me realize how lucky I really am, not only to be one of the millions of people he dedicates his life to save, but also to be honored to be the one who is who he falls back on when he needs the saving :)
