Recording information by VoiceofElkGOLD

This sing and The Poem I wrote "Freedom Isn't Free"..(below)... are in honor of our Brave and Loyal Veterans..On Veteran's Day... God Bless-Each of Them..-Shawn

“FREEDOM Isn’t FREE!”

Let’s remember those who fought and died with utmost gallantry!
And bravely gave of them selves and served unselfishly.
These soldiers, our precious veterans’ put their mark on history.
Then paid the price with their lives… because,
Freedom Isn’t Free!

The right to vote, the right to speak, and worship as we please
Was defended to the death! Here at home and across the seas.
The gallant and the brave were called and answered willingly
Then paid the price with their lives… because,
Freedom Isn’t Free!

We are part of this great nation home of brave and land of free
Only because of the many who went to task and won the victory!
We salute our fallen hero’s, those who fought for you and me.
May we never forget their ultimate price…because,
Freedom Isn’t Free!

Shawn Wilson
Veterans’ Day

This is absolutely stunning, with your powerful voice giving perfect expression to the song, and the spoken message.

Your poem - you have so many gifts - and the poem is so beautiful.

Words are inadequate to express how amazing this is, and I do offer my thoughts and prayers with yours, to remember the price of freedom, and to be grateful for those that have given their lives for us.

Gave me chills...so emotional!

Thank you so much for sharing this!

(((hugs)))

Beautiful sing here Shawn.....and such a lovely poem. I worked at the Veteran's OPC in Oakland and I know first hand how some of them suffered for our country. I did my very best to help them with their needs. This performance has brought tears to my eyes. I have total respect for all Veterans here and abroad!
May God Bless you and your family.
