This CD is about Americans and our wonderful country. Rhythm Of Honor is dedicated to the brave men and women that put their lives on line every day so we can be free, go to work every day, send our kids to school, and spend our hard-earned dollars on big screen TVs, computers, and all the other luxuries of living in the U.S. The things we take for granted are nonexistent in countries that are depressed by dictators and communist rule.

I do not believe in war but I most certainly support our people that are the defenders of our freedom. What brave souls they are, without them we are nothing. I did my time in the military and I am proud of it. I did not see any action when I served; I was one of the lucky ones. I know what its like to lose a loved one but have no idea the pain and suffering that there is for those that lose a husband, wife, son, or daughter to the ravages of war. Their pain must be unbearable. Think of those folks who are left behind yet they are still liberated like us because of people willing to risk their lives so that we may live in freedom and prosperity.

Eleven tracks make up this powerful CD. It is full of heart wrenching lyrics that will make you reevaluate your life and bring tears to your eyes. The variety of music is extraordinary, giving all musical tastes a chance to zone in on the meaning of this disc. While the musicianship is good, the heartfelt lyrics will leave you reaching for a Kleenex. This is all about personal stories, the lives of those affected by the real heroes of life, our United States military.

A “Soldiers Daughter” is a young woman’s ode to her father and the pride she has for his service to our country. “Send Me,” tells the story of a brave man saying I am not afraid to die with honor for my cause. The “Ballad Of Junior” is another tale about a young man that comes back from war changed forever. His mom expects the same person to return and it does not happen, the realities become evident quickly once the soldier comes back from the war to stay. The horrors of war will tear your heart out and disturb your thought process for the remainder of your life. If you have ever been to a veteran’s clinic or home you will understand were I am coming from. You do have the opportunity to travel in the service, but there is a price to pay when you homeland is at war. If you are fortunate enough to come back home, you will return a different person, guaranteed.

50 cents of every copy of Rhythm Of Honor sold will go to the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund. We do not want to forget our service people when they come back home and if they need help we should be there for them just as they were there for us in our time of need. This fine group of songs holds tremendous meaning. I am sure that many people will find their story in this music. This is not your everyday CD, and it is not only the music that you will hear loud and clear. The story between the notes will hit home with force. The music is great and it drives all the messages home with feeling that is hard describe without having some kind of personal experience related to the subject.

This is a great cause with some solid songs to back it all. How can you beat a win win situation like this? Enjoy some good music and help those in need at the same time. So yourself a favor and our American forces, get this CD now.
