The Price of Peace - Gaddis Sisters

Deployment ceremonies are never easy. Emotions can be overwhelming as families and friends gather together for their good-byes. Twelve-year-old Alyssa Gaddis and her 16-year-old sister Cassy Gaddis, of Springfield, IL, know this firsthand. Theyve been to many such events because their father, CW5 Jim Gaddis, is the command chief warrant officer of the Illinois Army National Guard. These experiences inspired Alyssa to write a song — a song to lift the spirits of those enduring deployment, a song to inspire courage and hope. Alyssa titled her song, "The Price of Peace."

@leisulin Doesn't matter if their for the wars or against it. all that matters is that they support the people who are willing to give their lives to what they believe.

@leisulin my thing is that it makes the news when someone or something major is happening for the soliders but you hardly ever hear of someone doing something for there families
