"In 2003, songwriter Bonnie W. Daniels decided to put pen to paper and write a heartfelt thank you to our military men and women. Like many of us, Bonnie has been touched very deeply by the daily sacrifices of America's brave sons and daughters in uniform. She believes that, regardless of the politics of war, the world has forever changed and our courageous soldiers make the crucial difference in a worldwide battle for freedom. She also believes we must be supportive and grateful for their ceaseless efforts to protect us, and many others, at home and around the world. Bonnie is sure that these brave men and women would never consider themselves heroes... however... like generations of brave American Heroes before them... what they do everyday, under such perilous conditions, is in fact - heroic!"
