WORDS TO LIVE BY: 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by Faith, not by Sight.” Also, I love the saying ” What is right is not always popular, what is popular is not always right.”

I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT: my stuffed animal! I travel everywhere with it. I think it’s a comfort thing because I can’t take my horses and dog’s on the road with me. Don’t Laugh!

I WROTE THIS SONG: from poems that my dad wrote while he was serving during the extraction period of the Vietnam War. I wanted to tell a story from a soldiers’ perspective and make it as real as I could. Originally I wrote it for my dad, but when I realized the impact it was having on people, it just became so much more. It truly became a way that for me to give thanks to our men and women in arms.
