Story behind the song
This song was written about a Marine that was just killed on Monday April 5th while serving his country near Fallujah, Iraq. He was on his second tour of duty there and loved what he was doing. He grew up on the same street as I did. He was just a little kid when I moved away but I can still remember him playing street hockey at the end of the street. His family had remained very good friends with my family over the years. He was only 21 years old when he died. His family was very proud of his service to his country. This song is dedicated to Lance Cpl. Matthew K. Serio and all the other men and women of all the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting this great countries freedoms. Their dedication to protect this country makes them heros and makes me proud to be American. Lets hope we get the troops out of Iraq soon. David Briel will donate $2.00 for each copy sold of his cd "Change The World" to "Veterans Of Foreign Wars" www.vfw.org to help military families in need.
