0 Thank You to Our WWII Veterans on D-Day
Today is very personal to me. As we remember and honor all those who served in WWII and on this fated D-Day, I am remembering my grandfather, Wayne Ray, who was at Omaha Beach and at the Battle of the Bulge. He went home to be with the Lord a few years ago, but we will always remember him. Here is a tribute song I wrote that is available on iTunes in honor & gratitude of him & several family members and to say Thank You to all who sacrificed on our behalf. Please share with any who have served their country & those who have lost loved ones. Especially any WWII Veterans! We will never forget & we honor their sacrifice! You can listen for free using the player below or find links to purchase and download the single on the discography page.
0 Remember Their Sacrifice on Memorial Day
Please join me in saying Thank You to the brave men & women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and for others around the world. We honor you and remember your sacrifice on this Memorial Day. We pray that God would comfort & heal the broken hearts of those loved ones & families left behind.
This is a song that I wrote in honor of my grandfather, Wayne Ray, who served in WWII and as a Thank You to all who have served and given selfless sacrifice.
Though it might not seem enough
For those who’ve been left behind I know
My prayers are lifted up
God comfort them and heal their broken hearts, oh-oh
Grant them peace in timeThank you
For all that you have given
Selfless sacrifice,
Paid the ultimate price
The life you set aside for mine
—Thank You
1 New Single “Thank You: A Military Tribute”
Release Date: August 7, 2012
If Brandon Heath and Gary Sinise joined forces to create a military tribute song—this would be it. This song is an encouragement and thank you to all of our armed services that we are grateful for their service.
The new single, “Thank You: A Military Tribute”, is now available on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby!
This is a tribute song I wrote for our troops who serve and sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms of this country. Once again the amazing Nick Garrett-Powell recorded and produced this track as well as playing bass, electric guitar and singing harmonies. After more than 11 years I was able to join forces with the fantastic Jim Sitter on drums! Jim helped produce and play on many of my earlier recordings, the last being “Don’t Look Back”, and I was excited to be able to work with him again on this song.
We are planning on releasing an entire CD filled with similar tribute music, but this song will be featured early on my next full-length CD, “White.” This song is dedicated to my grandfather, Wayne Ray, who was with the 139th in WWII and my cousin, John Ray, who recently served in the Navy. Regardless of our feelings about the politics that might deploy them, we should thank and honor all of our troops for their service and sacrifice. Thank you to all of our armed services personnel!
“I know it’s not much, but this is all I have to say…
THANK YOU!”

Lyrics
Thank You
I hope these words might reach you today
Wherever you are before it’s too late to say
For I am grateful; words alone cannot convey
The depth of my gratitude to a stranger miles away
I know it’s not much compared with what you’ve done
I wish I had more to offer than just this song
But my words are few…
Thank you For all that you have given
Selfless sacrifice,
Paid the ultimate price
The life you set aside for mine
I can’t begin to pretend to know what it’s like
Not having walked in your shoes or stood a sentry line
To your deepest longing for your loved ones out of sight
Know that you’re not alone, you’re in our prayers tonight
Though it might not seem enough
For those who’ve been left behind I know
My prayers are lifted up
God comfort them and heal their broken hearts, oh-oh
Grant them peace in time
I know it’s not much
But this is all I have to say
Thank you
