Helene Cronin - Lucky Me - (Thanks to our Troops)

***Available on iTunes or at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/HeleneCronin.***
This song is a true story, based on a conversation I had with a soldier in the Nashville airport. People responded to the song so enthusiastically that we made a video and posted it to YouTube. This second version includes photos by Paul Bennett (see more of his work at www.paulbennettphoto.com) and 1Lt Joseph D. Han. These men saw the first version and were willing to allow the use of their pictures to make a new video.Their photos make this video very special and real.
Help me thank all our service men and women, and their families, for all that they do and all that they endure for the sake of freedom. Most of us will NEVER fully understand what it takes to serve our country in this way.

@MR64crayons Thank you! What did you do in the show? To be in the same room with all those Medal of Honor recipients was such a great experience. They are a humble group of men.
