P.S. I don't know why the sound is such low quality, ask YouTube crew. This same video sounds fine on our both computers.

Dude, I hope you are a pro, if not you SHOULD be. AMAZING synchronization of the audio.

Congrats, Kudos, Awesome, words fail me!

After years of reading references to Winterborn in John Ringo books, I finally looked it up yesterday. I didn't think it really fit the Trojans, and the first battle I thought of was Thermopylae. It still seemed the most appropriate, and I thank you for confirming that.

I've seen many YT music videos, as well as several just of Winterborn; yours is the best I've seen, with a Final Fantasy version of Vater Unser coming in second for timing and visuals. It'll be hard for someone else to top this.

We thank thee!

We are glad that thou liked the video and the thought that we shared of The Battle at Thermopylae! ^_^

This vid is freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on a side note, in my research, spartans are invincible with weapons, but dog meat without it seems, they need more training with wolves. weaponless.

@BookwyrmPendraconis just checked the html of Ghost again, and at the beginning of ch 25, when Pierson asks him what call sign he'll use for the mission in the islands, he replied "Use 'Winter born,'"

@airgunnyboy: The song or the book? Trust me, either way, I have.

[BookwyrmPendraconis]

@Cybeldina: This is the original.

@ravenhawk9999: Correction: Mike tried to set his own team name in the SEALs, which isn't how things work. He wanted to be called Winterborn, but instead got Assboy for a while. Later he got Ghost.

And yes, it's not just Troy Rising. It's also in Legacy of the Aldenata and others.

@BookwyrmPendraconis i did the same thing but i also looked up Citadel you should check that one out

[francesmartin79]

Ringo's not the only one. When I finely twigged to it. (yeah, Duh. lol) I found it in other books. But he does use it way more than anyone else. You can certainly see why. Some authors mention the songs they listen too while writing and that is pretty interesting also.

@BookwyrmPendraconis Dito, now I finally realize just why Ringo puts this song in so many books!
