Steven Curtis Chapman - 'We Remember'

A while back I was thinking about my Grandpa Rubel Rudd who received a Purple Heart medal for his service in World War II. He was injured by a grenade in The Battle of Okinawa where many of his buddies were killed, and he carried the scars with him until the day he went to heaven on Dec 18 of 2003. He was one of the greatest men I've ever known. One of my great memories with him was getting to introduce him to one of his heroes, Rev. Billy Graham, when I was singing at a Billy Graham Crusade in Nashville in 2000. I have an amazing picture of those 2 great men of God shaking hands as I'm looking on with a huge smile on my face.

I remember hearing stories of how my mom who was just a baby when he left for the war was afraid of this "stranger" when he first returned home after being injured. Thankfully, with time, prayer and God's grace they had many good years together as a family. But it's always reminded me that there is a very high price paid by so many for the gift of freedom that we enjoy every day in this great country...and I wanted to just take a moment to say Thank You! So I did what I usually do when I have something to say...I wrote a song of course! If you are someone who has served or is currently serving our country or are a family member of someone who has or is serving, please know, "We Remember".
And if you know someone who might be blessed or encouraged by this song please pass it on.

Thanks and God Bless You,
scc

Beautiful song. Should be a National Anthem for every Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. God Bless.

I was 981 to like this here.
I first heard this song while mowing my lawn.
There was a lump in my throat as there is now.
Those who sacrificed their ultimate in wartime, peacetime, and/or passed on into eternity before me have all earned my respect, I hold them in higher regard in spite of my serving, too!
We are blessed, not for nothing!

[KellySzymanski]

So beautiful. Thank you and thank you to my husband and all the veterans for their service. God bless you all.

You're welcome. It was such an honor meeting you in Austin and introducing my son to you. I have listened to your music for 30 years and was a crucial part of my great adventure. When I have dark times, I always hear More to This Life and Warrior. They carry me through the darkness. You are incredible gift from God, Steven. We love you

Beautiful song! Thank God for our freedom. Thank every veteran, our military, and their families. Their sacrifices paid the price for our freedom. That should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
Father God, protect our troops at home and abroad. Bring them home safely to their families. In Jesus name amen.
