The Flyer Song - A Tribute to the Troops and Their Families

My friend Kip has an email pen pal named Captain Scott Berg, who just happens to be Second In Command of the John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group. Two months ago, Kip sent him an mp3 of my song "The Flyer Song"; thinking he might identify with some of the sentiments in the lyrics. Captain Berg liked the song and my simple recording of it enough to play it for his air wing and to, based on their positive reaction, commission a video of the song. So the media department of the "Stennis" and a very talented man named MC3 E. Jayce Fabrizio made a beautiful and moving video using their footage from the ship (some stock and some shot just for the video).These guys are currently somewhere in the Persian Gulf and are risking their lives for us and our freedom everyday. With this video I'd like to pay tribute to them and to all our troops -- here, there and everywhere: I thank you for all you do and I will pray for your safety always.I'd also like to thank the families of the troops - for their undeniable gift of time...precious time away from their loved ones on our behalf. Thank you, thank you, thank you.If you feel like it, drop me a line to share with me a story about someone you know who is serving our country...a story. a picture. a moment...whatever you feel like.Leslie

after being addicted to the song over the past few weeks i had to stop listening to it as i was starting to hum it lots (lol), my best friend and soulmate has gone away in his little jet and i have nightmares... then yesterday i received an e-mail titled with his name... it took me 3 hours to open it.. it was from his dad, just to tell me that he asked his dad to tell me that he LOVES ME as he had used his call time to call his mother. then i came back here... to feel all warm again. I THANK YOU

iranjapanese:do you know how much a soldier makes?not that much to support a wife a daughter and a baby on the way......all while your overseas and cannot help your wife through her pregnancy. you know nothing of what soldiers are doing over here the media doesn't either. so all you protesters. get the fuck outta here. this is a respectful place where soldiers and their family's can come to remember the loved ones and share their pride of them. go show your freedom of speech that i fight

God bless the soldiers. As an air force pilot. this is an amazing video. I just sent it to my wife and daughter back home. And my wife jokingly says this is "our song" and my daughter watches this every night before she goes to bed. Thank youGod bless the fallen serving and the loved ones. Plt.O'Connell104th FW
