On Friday Jeremiah Workman, somebody you should know, was on Fox and Friends to talk about his new book "Shadow of the Sword" and they had on country music artist Derek Sholl, who has written a song based on the relationship the two of them have developed.
For most this song will probably just be more country western pablum, but to those who have served and listen to the words it is much more.
Enjoy.

National Heroes Tour Daily update
This clip features Marine Sgt Jeremiah Workman, who is still on active duty, addressing a group at an American Legion post in AZ.
Here is a little background on SGT Jeremiah Workman who was awarded the Navy Cross, second only to the Medal of Honor, for his actions in Fallujah. These events occurred in 2004 and as you can see from the article a lot of tough times lay ahead for the young man, tough times he is still dealing with.
To Jeremiah, always remember the lives you saved not the lives you take or the ones lost. To the brothers who you have lost, remember their lives and how they lived. Honor them, never forget them, but know they wouldn't want you wallowing in guilt over their deaths, for if the roles were reversed, they would feel no different then you do. Just as you were willing to give your life to protect them they would and did do the same thing to protect you. They too are heroes and have earned their own sacred place in history. Here's hoping for better days and it sounds like you have one helluva of wife and family, make them your priority and show them you love them.
(Just some ramblings from an old Army grunt.)
