Thanksgiving Tribute to America's Troops
"This is a great song by former Army Ranger and Musician Jerod (JT) Thompson. Jerod takes to the road with his guitar strapped and roams the highways playing at clubs, barns, open fields and bonfires from California to Florida and everywhere in between. More more information on his music and when and where he will play next check him out at Reverbnation JT Thompson or visit his Facebook page: Facebook JT Thompson -- Video clips are from D. Co. 2/135 Infantry 34th Infantry Division of the Minnesota Army National guard on their deployment to Farah Afghanistan in 2004/2005. These troops were the first American troops into Farah City and relied heavily on their relationship with the local residents. When they first entered the city in August of 2004 the first 20 soldiers lived in a simple Afghan house in the middle of the city. The experience later served as the basis for the bestselling book "Words in the Dust" by Trent Reedy. Trent was among these first 20 Americans into Farah City."
