Many of you have already heard the musical tribute I did to those who have died in service to this nation. It is called "In Requiem Medley" and it is available on my Library page.

Creative inspiration, for me, most often comes unbidden, unexpectedly. I cannot command its arrival, but when it arrives, it commands my service and issues marching orders for my performance in service to its wants and needs. Such was the case for me today. I invite you to take a look and listen to the results. I have added some text to the web page that hosts the "In Requiem Medley." You don't even have to scroll down to read. I make the text scroll up for you.

Click here to visit that page. Turn up your speakers and set your mind at ease before you go there. Let my music and my words speak to you and - if I did my work right on behalf of my muse - help you know the soul of a soldier... those I call everyday heroes. Let the music play out and while you do, let your mind use the time to say a quiet prayer to whatever superior being in whom you place your trust for the safety of all our young men and women in lands halfway around the world.

If you choose to do so, you may drop me an e-mail to say what you think of what I have left there to share with you or you may post your responses here, as you choose.

Thank you for going there. I truly hope that when you do, you will return here with a thought that it was time well spent. It was for me.
