Veterans Day was November 11 and we wish we had known about this musical video then, but we didn't and we like it so much, we're going to post it a week late. Grab a box of tissues cause we doubt you'll make it through without tears.
This video begins with Radney Foster, Darden Smith and Darius Rucker giving a short explanation of why / how the song was written For those who are not aware, the U.S. Air Force Angel Flights bring home our fallen military (heroes).
Co-writers Foster & Smith are donating proceeds to a charity that provides assistance to military families of the fallen.
If the video doesn't play, click here.
Many thanks to all our veterans, including those who ride - as well as those who fly - the Angel Flights
We prepared this yesterday and don't have time to write a new post, so w apologize this teary video falls on the same day the cat blogging community lost the lovely Miss Huffle Mawson. It is doubly sad since her family is traveling out of the country.
And the dog blogging community lost the adorable Princess Isis. Isis was Hansel's cousin. Isis's' blog will be closing now.
I enjoyed the video, thanks gang!
