Tim McGraw - If You're Reading This (Chris Smith Acoustic Cover - Military Tribute)

I do not own the copyright to the original song

This video is honor of SGT Donna Johnson, SGT Jeremy Hardison, and SGT Thomas Butler of the 514th MP Company. These 3 North Carolina Army National Guard Soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan on October 1st when a suicide bomber attacked their dismounted patrol. The video is dedicated to the friends, fellow soldiers, and most importantly the families, that these brave soldiers left behind. In the words of NCNG Maj. Gen. Lusk "They were the embodiment of citizen Soldiers who put everything on hold to go in harm's way for all of us. They will be remembered and sorely missed." RIP Brothers and Sister in arms.

I shared this with my friends here in Hampstead, NC, T. J. Butler's hometown. I'm sure his many friends here will appreciate it.
