    Great song and video. I am excited about all of this. I hope there will be another chance for me to go to another rally. Thank you so much for being there for them and encouraging them.

    Beautiful song, beautifully sung! God Bless all our troops.

    I drove nine hours in the snow from New Jersey but wouldn’t have missed being part of this important day. It was incredible to see so many vets and other patriots assemble to keep the ragged vermin in check. Let’s keep on them, no matter where they show up.

    God Bless the USA!

    Lets try this again……
    My wife and I were standing right in front of Angela as she sang that song……both of us bawling……what a magnificent song from a magnificent woman.
    I don’t care what the MSM pigs say or don’t say. I WAS THERE!! I SAW THIS WITH MY TWO EYES!! NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT!!

    way to go!!! moved me to tears.

    You guys done good. You even outnumbered the antiwar types by about 20k people. Hanoi/Bagdad jane & cindy couldn’t get more than around 10k; not 10k+ they thought they would.

    Not only are our soldiers to be respected, but the families of these men and women deserve our respect as well. Beautiful tribute, just beautiful!!!

    It was a very proud moment for me to participate in the Gathering of Eagles — especially to provide Sign Language interpreting for “So Brave” and the other fine presentations.

    Thank you to Kristinn Taylor, who took my suggestion to book Angela for the event. It seemed that her live performace was even better than the studio recording.

    Looking out over the thousands of faces at the rally, I could see many people sobbing with the emotion that the song evokes. (Fortunately for y’all, I had sunglasses on! I tried to keep my cool, but it wasn’t easy.)

    “So Brave” captures not only the feelings that every good parent feels for a child serving in the military, but also incorporates my feelings of thanks for those younger people that now “carry the torch” for those of us that are no longer in uniform. THANK YOU to all of those now serving, helping to keep me and my family safe. You are all “So Brave”.

    I’ve been informally helping Angela with publicity tasks, ever since interviewing her about a month ago. It turns out that many people do not yet know the background of “So Brave”. This article in WorldNetDaily tells the several stories behind the song.

    “‘Military mothers’ anthem’ takes flight”

    Perhaps it was because the article was published on a weekend that not as many people read it. Please send that link to your friends, and help spread the story of “So Brave”.

    (And, if you’d like to book Angela for a media interview or a speaking or singing engagement, please let me know. Thank you.)

    “So Brave” and that they all are. I am the mother of the “little guy” sung about in Angie’s song. I am a proud mother of a US soldier. Our children are sacrificing there lives for us all. Just like all of our veterans. Angie keep the song going. We are mothers of soldiers and we are PROUD. God bless our troops and their families.

    To book Angela Lashley for singing or speaking engagements, media interviews, or to arrange wholesale purchases of her CD, please contact 1SG Enterprises at: booking@1sg-inc.com

    Thank you.

    I was in the crowd when Angela sang this. I’m a 100% disabled, Vietnam vet. My spinal injuries cannot move me to tears, even though I’m on a daily “diet” of morphine. This song can, to the vets it has special meaning. It spans the generations of vets. I’m sure MANY of OUR Mothers never realized their “lil’ boys & girls” could ever be “So Brave”! Radar-MI GOE

Got something to say?
