Toby Keith’s “American Soldier” tells the story of what it’s like to be committed to fighting for freedom. It’s one of the best patriotic songs of all time and it shows how the selfless sacrifice a soldier makes extends to their the family too.
While we hope and pray for no more wars, until that time we need to be thankful that there are those who are willing to put their lives on the line when necessary.
Please join me in sharing this tribute in honor of all the men and women who have, and continue to, put their lives on the line to fight for our freedom.
