Video: Veteran's Day Celebration 2011



This is a video made for the Veteran's Day Celebration Dinner 2011 that was used.  It pays tribute to those who have served.  Again, love the music and video.  This artist is a veteran, which makes the music video even better because he "gets it."





Video: Gone


This is a video made for the Veteran's Day Dinner 2011.  It was not used.  I guess it was too "dark," or something.  Well...war is dark, but I guess that isn't really what we want to celebrate when we do a Vet's Dinner.  Lesson learned.

The "video" part of this I saw on YouTube and immediately thought it was one of the coolest videos I'd ever seen.  I love the song as well as the video that accompanies it.  I left the credit at the end so you know that I only added the beginning of the video for the dinner.  Though I would love to take credit for the music video, it is not mine.  If you watch it on YouTube you will see that I did edit out a rather long introduction at the beginning.  I apologize to the maker of this video for doing that.  I wanted to share this with other veterans but I thought the introduction was so long that they would lose interest and turn back to their meals.

The video talks about being "Gone."  Gone is a word that has lots of different meanings for a veteran.  Some are good, some are bad.  I guess it all depends on what mood you're in or what you're talking about.  But I'll shut up now so you can enjoy the video.
