Thanks to You I'm Free - Deployment Reunion

On July 15, 2010 our husband and father, CH CPT Scott Koeman, returned home from a one year deployment to Afghanistan. This video was created to capture the moment for those who weren't present.

As I stood their video-recording the event, little did I know the powerful image I would capture of our kids racing to meet their dad, nor did I realize that my husband had given a Soldier his camcorder to capture the event on his side of the curtain. I hope this video gives a small glimpse into the powerful emotions and joy of welcoming our guys home, especially through the eyes of a child.

A special thanks to Jonathan Harris who has made the 5th Brigade reunions extra special by showing up and sharing his song of tribute to our Soldiers, "Thanks to You I'm Free," sometimes in the middle of the night. Thanks for using your gift of music to salute and recognize the sacrifices of our Soldiers and their families. www.thankstoyouimfree.com

I love this presentation of "Thanks to you I'm free"... Jonathan wrote this with a heart full of gratitude and admiration for our wounded warriors and all who are willing to lay down their lives for the sake of others. Thank you, Jonathan, for expressing in music what many of us feel so deep in our hearts.
