 When I was a boy, I told my dad, I would be the one. I'm Stan Sirvandrik Pease. For my professional life, I'm an infantry paratrooper. I'm a weapons squad leader specifically. On my off time, I'm a singer-songwriter. You and 20 of my country are free. So the idea of coming up with this song was actually with some friends and peers at work. We were just sitting around the table and one of them was kind of like joking around and he's saying, hey, your next song should actually be a song related to the military. And it became more of a serious thing in my own head. It's like, yeah, that's a good idea. I was like, I should do that. Memorial Day is coming up. I should do a tribute song to our two other fallen soldiers and their families. I actually felt excited and just immediately got to work on the song. 100% anyone in the military can have a hobby. All it is is trying to plan out your life to where you can work, have your own social life or personal life with your family and then having your own hobbies as well. You can always make the time, even with being in the military. There was a music teacher and throughout my whole entire life I was always in choir. The night before I started recording I was talking to my mom about how the house is too echoey and all that type of stuff and I was like, do you have any ideas that you guys go in your car? I was like, that's what I was going to do. My wife actually gave me the idea for the 21 Gun Salute. It brings a lot of joy to hear the music actually complete. This song specifically brings out emotions and now I'm excited to share it with the world.
