The National Defense opens this week by speaking with Vietnam veteran and
author, Sgt. Westley Thomas, about his new book "A Hard Decision." Westley has
taken his expereinces serving in the Vietnam war to create a story about what
happens when the realities of the battlefield and the homefront collide. Check
out his book on Amazon, or wherever books are sold.
Come Back Home was written in the wake of me losing my longtime drummer and former Army soldier John C. Williams. But the song started off as a reflection of how a military couple deals with separation. After the release of Come Back Home, Johns little brother was killed by an IED in Iraq. His name was Blake Williams. His platoon used this track as the audio to a memorial slide show presentation they did in March of 2008. It was for all the courageous men and women they had lost in the month of March. I am humbled by their service to our great country and I hope this song brings them some peace. My father served in Vietnam and I truly appreciate their dedication and bravery." -Pat McGee
