about

Throughout our country’s history people have served to protect and defend us. Without these good people making the sacrifice we would not enjoy our freedom. This song is dedicated to those who have served in war and peacetime and their loved ones, who also make their own sacrifices.

I used a couple cliché’s, but they ring true for me. “Freedom isn’t free” and “All gave some and some gave all”, say it best and most folks can relate. I wanted to include the loved ones because they too make their own kind of sacrifice for our freedom.

In the end this song is just a straightforward heartfelt simple tribute, a thank you and an expression of my gratitude to the service men and women and their loved ones. I will never forget!

lyrics

I love my freedom, but I know freedom isn’t free, those who served our country paid the price for me
So, to each and every one of you; for all you gave, thank you for your service and the sacrifice you made
You were called to duty and you answered the call, all gave something and some gave all
I’m standing on your shoulders now and deep in your debt, I promise you, I will never forget
And with my utmost respect, won’t you please accept this song to honor you
It’s filled with gratitude, a simple tribute; it’s my six string salute
And to all the loved ones left behind, patiently waiting with a worried mind
To each and every one of you; for all you gave, thank you for your service and the sacrifice you made
And with my utmost respect, won’t you please accept this song to honor you
It’s filled with gratitude, a simple tribute; it’s my six string salute, a six string salute
