The Story Behind the Song
What This Song Honors
Behind every warrior who serves is a family that serves too. This song is a tribute to the wives who keep the home front standing, who carry the worry, raise the children, and hold a life together while their warrior is away. It honors a kind of quiet, everyday courage that medals are rarely pinned to.
