To The Fallen
Whenever you turn on the TV in this country, it’s very difficult not to see something about the war in Iraq. We got play-by-plays and body counts flashing up all the time on the news; politicians arguing about what the strategy should be or who should be calling the shots; people protesting and calling for an end to our involvement; and pro-America commercials urging us to support our troops and come together as a country. Yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen an interview with an active soldier, witnessed any troops talk about what it’s like to be in war, or heard the opinions of anyone who’s actually serving in Iraq. And that just doesn’t seem right to me man.
Now, with the help of hip-hop, soldiers have been given a voice and a platform to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences with the world. To The Fallen Records, a record label consisting of only military personnel, has released "To The Fallen Vol. 1," a compilation of various hip-hop artists that use powerful lyrics and hard-hitting beats to tell the world about their lives in a way that most of us do not get to hear. The album is mind-boggling, and shares the lives of soldiers through soldier-supportive anthems, real war experiences with firsthand perspectives, and life lessons learned by those who make the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
