The U.S. Military...Like A Rock (musical montage tribute)

This definitely needs some air time. These jocks did a great job of putting this tribute together. Beware - it is a 3.7 MB download, but well worth it! You can also download it from the 101 The Fox website.

There is also a lovely version of "Love Me When I'm Gone" by 3 Doors Down that was mixed by a Lubbock, Texas, radio station with news clips. Very moving.

It can be downloaded at

We've started using it at the radio station I work at. We'll download "Like a Rock" too. :) Thanks

I enjoyed "Like a Rock", but I hope you've also heard these:

Dustin Evans website

Download "If I Die...Wake" Here RIGHT HERE

Lyrics:

If I Die Before You Wake

Back home now I know you’re prob’ly sleepin’
Over here it’s the middle of the day
I finally found some time to write a letter
Sittin’ here a half a world away

I heard about all them folks protestin’
As if I really want this war
But that don’t stop me from believin’
There’s just some things worth fightin’ for

Chorus:
And if I die before you wake
I pray the world would take
A good look at what God’s given us
If we could only understand
Everything is in His hands
All we need is a little faith and trust
I want you to know
It ain’t too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake

Tell everybody that I miss them
And I can’t wait to get back home
Until then I’ll serve my country
And be proud to wear this uniform!

No, it ain’t too high a price to pay
If I die before you wake.

Also, a more gritty tune by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers:

I Won't Back Down

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No, I stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from dragging me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

Chorus:
(I won't back down) Hey Baby
There ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down) Hey I
Will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right
I got just one light
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
But I stand my ground
And I won't back down

Chorus:
(I won't back down) Hey Baby
There ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down) Hey I
Will stand my ground (I won't back down)
And I won't back down

Musical bridge:

Chorus repeat:
(I won't back down) Hey Baby
There ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down) Hey I
Won't back down

(I won't back down) Hey Baby
There ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down) Hey I
Will stand my ground(I won't back down)
And I won't back down (I won't back down)
No I won't back down

"They are the best we've got."
Amen to that.
We are so proud of our men and women in the military, and thank them for their sacrifices for the entire world's security, especially the Iraqi's who have now been set free!!!

Thanks for posting those. I'm starting a collection of patriotic songs at work where I can take advantage of the T1 connection - 6MB file in under a minute - then burn 'em to a disc.

Thanks for the link...the song made me cry, too, and that was without the usual picture slideshow! People need to notice that young performer, IMHO.
