15-Year-Old Girl Sings 'Soldier's Light' in Emotional Military Tribute to Fallen Soldier (VIDEO)
Classic country Songs | 15-Year-Old Girl Sings 'Soldier's Light' in Emotional Military Tribute to Fallen Soldier (VIDEO) | Country Music Videos
Grab a tissue before you start reading, and then grab an entire box before you start the video, because y'all are going to need it. 15-year-old Rylee Preston's emotional military tribute song, "Soldier's Light" is one of those songs that need to be heard. It isn't some shallow song without any emotional depth, but the exact opposite, for it was written in tribute to a family friend, a fallen soldier.
Guardian of Valor spoke with Rylee's father, who stated the Rylee saw how upset her father was about a friend of his that lost his son in Iraq. Army SPC. Justin Rollins was killed in 2007. She said, "I could just tell in my dad’s voice how upset he was about it, because he was feeling bad for his friend and he said he could only imagine how it would be to lose me." So, the first thing Rylee did was ask her father what they could do to help, rendering Jay Preston speechless.
What they did was travel to California to record the song "Soldier's Light". On the official website, SoldiersLight.com, it states:
In Justin's memory, and the many Americans like him who gave their lives for our freedom, Rylee wants proceeds from the song to help the "Ride For The Fallen” and to build a memorial that will incorporate a light "forever lit" to remember the fallen and to honor all who have served.
The music video will pull at your heartstrings. It shows a family trying to deal with the loss of their husband and father and how it affects those left behind. Check out her music video below, but be prepared y'all.
God bless our nation's heroes.
Meet Erick Scott. He served in the army national guard for many years. After his many years of service, he settled in Jacksonville, Florida. Unfortunately, that’s when he started suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder.
Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, according to mayoclinic is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Many people who go through traumatic events have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while, but they don’t have PTSD — with time and good self-care, they usually get better. But if the symptoms get worse or last for months or even years and interfere with your functioning, you may have PTSD.
Erick was eventually placed in a the Canines For Warriors program, which gives service dogs to veterans suffering from various conditions. Watch what Gumbo, his dog, does when Erick starts to get a PTSD reaction during an interview. It truly brought a tear to all of our hearts here at Aww Daily. Thank you Gumbo!
Please SHARE Erick and Gumbo with your friends and family. Thank you!
