SOUTHERN MAN
"I grew up in Gainesville, Fla., where Tom Petty is from - that's our claim to fame. Now I live in Columbus, Ga., on the Chattahoochee River."
BATTLE TESTED
"I joined the Army in '91. As a member of the Special Operations Task Force Rangers, I was part of the unit sent into downtown Mogadishu, Somalia, in search of a criminal warlord. You may know the battle from the book and movie Black Hawk Down. We lost 18 Americans in that fight, and another 78 were wounded."
AT EASE
"I promised myself a long time ago that if the music paid the mortgage, I'd quit the Army and do it full time. But my military experience is still a huge emotional motivator."
A SOLDIER'S SONGS
"It's been a while since someone did a concept record, and that's what my album is. These are stories that any soldier will tell you, from any time period - whether it's Iwo Jima or Normandy, Vietnam or Korea, and certainly Afghanistan and Iraq. It's about brotherhood, honor and family."
Keni's first solo album, Flags of Our Fathers - A Soldier's Story, is in stores now.
When you buy the CD "Flags of Our Fathers - A Soldier’s Story" a portion of your money goes to the HERO FUND which donates those funds entirely to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Keni Thomas: Listen to his entire CD here
He was a soldier and now he is a singer. Please check out his CD. I stumbled across the following article and thought I would post it as another source to get to know this fine young American.
Ambush in Mogadishu: US Rangers: interviews: Sgt. Keni Thomas

Thanks. Save.
RANGER ON!
I just have to get this album. Thanks for posting such a thorough review.
I'll definitely be buying this one! Thx!!
Wow, not at all impressed with Barnes and Noble, suppose that is the reason I do not order from them.
They are charging 18.98 ... vs. Amazon 13.99.
BUMP!
My thanks and appreciation.
You da woman! ;)
This is a music bump;
BTW could mojo put this on the Sat.Evening Jukebox?

I saw your interest of Chris Rice and his contribution that I thought you might enjoy reading about another patriotic singer, Keni Thomas. He actually came to Ft Leavenworth.
