Dear City of Mission Viejo,
In honor of Veterans Day 2012, I would like to share with you a song, written for, and dedicated to, all Veterans. It is called
I’ll Go (A Soldiers Oath) by the band Kelly’s Lot
Here’s a link to the song (this is simply a YouTube video):

It’s a beautiful ‘old-timey’ little video and well worth watching. Our Veterans are important, and deserve to know we appreciate them. I think this song does just that.
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Tamie Towers
Patriot & Daughter of a Veteran
P.S. My dear friend Kelly Zirbes wrote and performed this song and gives her permission for it to be shared.
