Great song... I really like the sound... love the vocals and the message...
As a US Navy veteran (Vietnam era), I appreciate the song lyrics, and as a fellow songwriter/musician/producer, I appreciate all the talent and work that went into the production... Well done... 

Hi Frank, I commented on your new CD - a great job there.  Thanks so much for your good words for this song.  Thank you as well for your service to our country.  All the best.

Very nice song. Good rhythm section. Like the punchy sound of the bass. Nice guitar too. I like the lyrics, and the heartfelt way you delivered them. Great job on this!

Hi Bob.  Thanks for commenting and I appreciate your feedback.  For the bass, I posted a thread in this forum about how others are recording bass and learned a lot from it.  I am going direct into a Alesis MICTUBE DUO and then use a little bit of basis compression.  I cut some lows and added a touch around 2K and that was it.  I was happy with the result.  The lyrics could use some polish but at this point I thought I would go with it because the message is bigger than each work I think.  I am happy you liked them as well.  
 
Take care.

Yeah, I like this a lot. It's got a good melody, great guitar tone and the chorus is pretty catchy. I'll probably be humming it later.

Clint - I smiled when you said you might be humming the melody later.  :)  This song has been in my head for a couple of weeks and it stays in mine way too much!  I can relax now that I have posted it.  
 
Thanks again.

Great job on this Jimmy.

Much appreciated Tim!

 
I really like this Jimmy.
 
And the sentiments you express are so heartfelt, it comes across in your delivery.

Thank you Steve. It's all about all those serving a just cause and those that love them so.

All the best,

Jimmy

Jimmy, this is a wonderful tribute the the pain of separation military people go through when leaving their loved ones.  You nailed this in every way.  Congratulations.

Hi Lynn!  Thank you so much for the warm response.  It's was written for all of them.  These days I can't stop thinking about all those that serve our country.  God bless them and keep them out of harm.
