Highlight of the ACM's...moving tribute to our military--God Bless them all!

This is absolutely amazing, in every sense of the word. It made me cry, or rather, blubber. It is so moving and honest and real. In my 21 years of listening to country music, I have NEVER heard a country singer call for PEACE in of their songs--never. This song is sad and inspiring and thought-provoking--all at the same time. It makes me realize how lucky and blessed I am to live in a country, that although has its major flaws, is free. I live, walk, talk, go, do, see and breathe FREELY because of these strong, courageous men & women! All of them, past and present, and all of their families; and the sacrafices they all make. We owe them our respect, admiration, love and gratitude; most of all, we owe them our prayers. The line in this song that struck me was the one about peace and the one about the soldiers not wanting to die in vain. I think that's important to remember. It's our responsibility as Americans, and citizens of the world, to stand up for what we believe in, for what we think is right and to say our prayers and count our blessings each and every night that we live in freedom and in peace! God Bless all of those strong men and women, God Bless each of us and God Bless America! Please watch this important & moving video--it's a testament to soldiers everywhere, bravery all around and the wonderfulness of country music! Songs like this are why I have stayed with country music for over twenty-one years, and why I'll always be a life-long fan! Thanks, Trace Adkins, for recording this song and the privelege of hearing/seeing it!
