| "The Brave American Soldier" Lyrics (Verse 1) The Brave American Soldier goes off to war Struggles through hell while the Eagle soars He protects his country wherever he goes Even when tortured or watching blood flow (Chorus) The Brave American Soldier is tops Some call him Brother, Son, Friend or Pops The Brave American Soldier never rests As he wears the uniform or the best The Brave American Soldier takes a stand To go forward for his flag and homeland (Verse 2) This soldier pushes through the heat, dust and sand Aware our lives and freedoms rest in his hands Although he may feel tired, dirty and alone Let him know he can count on our prayers at home (Recitation) As we sit here safe and secure in our home I'm sure you are frightened and feel alone God is your friend, reach out and take his hand He will keep you safe in this foreign land ( Repeat Chorus) The Brave American Soldier is tops Some call him Brother, Son, Friend or Pops The Brave American Soldier is modest And wears the uniform of the best The Brave American Soldier takes a stand To go forward for his flag and homeland (Tag) The Brave American Soldier goes off to war Struggles through hell while the eagle soars The Brave American Soldier goes off to war.......(fade) (c) 2005 Jack Hodge and Rhonnie Scheuerman Songs by RhonBob Publishing, BMI |

| The Birth of a Song By Jack Hodge |
| " The Brave American Soldier" It all started when my good friend and Gospel singer Evelyn Conner contacted me for some cooking recipes for a cookbook. I was a chef up until I retired. This cookbook was being put together by the Operation Military Parents Organization. The profits from this cookbook would help supply needs for our service personnel in Iraq. Operation Military Parents raises money by having all kinds of functions like singings, bake sales, and so on; to send needed supplies to our military personnel. I got together about twenty recipes to send. As I'm a poet, I decided to write a special poem for our troops. The American Soldier. Operation Military Parents adopted the poem as their theme poem. It is going in the cookbook and is on the front page of the web site: www.OperationMilitaryParents.com. I thought, what an honor to go in the cookbook, then to have my poem as the theme poem. But wait......I was in for a bigger surprise. The CEO and Founder of Operation Military Parents, Susan Beckner, contacted me. Susan asked if I could turn the poem into a song. My good friend, Rhonnie Sheuerman, with RhonBob Promotions came to mind as Rhonnie has written many number one songs including patriotic songs. Rhonnie and I went back and forth only twice and "the song was born." The next step was the Composer for the song. I called Bob Scott Frick, Mr. Gospel Guitar, with Frick Music Publishing Company in Madison, Tennessee and explained what we were doing. Bob said send the words and I will see what I can do. Bob wasted no time, I had the music in my hand in two weeks. Bob had come up with a great tune, got his band together and made me a track. Band Members: Guitarist, Electric Organ and Trumpet - Bob Scott Frick. Bass - Shawn Frick. And on Drums - Scott Frick. I began to practice the song, soon I was ready to record. I contacted my good friend Gary McVay, Music Director for Smokey Mountain Jubilee Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for over twenty years, Owner and CEO of Gloryland Recording Studio in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. I proceeded to explain what I was doing with "The Brave American Soldier." We got together on a time for me to co to the studio and record. God is so good, one practice and one take. Gary mixed the recording and burnt me two master copies. "The Brave American Soldier" has been sent to: Western Heart Promotions (WHP) Ready Records Circuit Rider Records The song will go on a compilation and be sent to about 6,000 radio stations. |
