Williams. But the song started off as a reflection of how a military couple deals with separation. After the release of Come Back Home, Johns little brother was killed by an IED in Iraq. His name was Blake Williams. His platoon used this track as the audio to a memorial slide show presentation they did in March of 2008. It was for all the courageous men and women they had lost in the month of March.<\/p>\n<p>I am humbled by their service to our great country and I hope this song brings them some peace. My father served in Vietnam and I truly appreciate their dedication and bravery.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.patmcgee.net\/\">Pat McGee<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After sitting through that trash in the Winter Soldier post, I figured you guys deserved this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The folks at Rock Ridge Music thought you guys would like this video.
