The lyrics below are to a song which was written and performed by Tony Diana Tony has graciously donated any proceeds made from this song to They Have Names , which is a site dedicated to preserving the memories of the Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The owner of They Have Names site will be presenting to each family he interviews a coin engraved with their loved ones name, thanking them for their sacrifice.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for helping other people. I have always had the attitude that there are many people out there, much more disadvantaged than I am and it's my duty to do what I can to help others. So yeah, at times I tend to be a caretaker and have a tendency to give a lot of myself to others, while not expecting anything in return. I participate in things such as Troop Support, outdoor activities, motorcycles, spending time with good friends and my family, numerous non-profit organizations that help our Brave American Military Men and Women...
There are many ways you can help support our Troops. Take some time and visit America Supports You and find out what you can do to help. There are so many ways you can make a difference. Write a letter, send a care package, visit our wounded Heroes, help out the families of the fallen, attend a Troop Support Rally and last but not least, when you see a member of the military, go up to them and tell them THANKS for their sacrifices. The list goes on and on. America Supports You has compiled a list of groups that they have carefully scrutinized to ensure they have the best interest of our Troops in mind. Visit there and see what's available. STEP UP TO THE PLATE and let your actions speak louder than your words! DO SOMETHING to show our troops you care!
All the American Heroes that I've had the privilege of supporting through my troop support activities over the years.
I listen to a wide range of music. About the only thing that I don't listen to is Rap. My all time favorite has to be Classic Rock, but I do like some of the new rock artists as well. I listen to some Country (shhhhh don't tell my mom! I swore I'd never do that!)Check out these fantastic artists for their awesome Troop Support Songs. I can't give these artists kudo's enough. Even though they're not well know artists, they've all went out of their way to show how much they appreciate and support our Military Men and Women.

Hank had all the soldiers in tears that day!!
Action, Drama, True Crime, Comedy, Documentary, Historical.... Pretty much anything that catches and holds my interest.
I try to keep abreast of the news and what's happening around the World. Especially when it pertains to our Military men and women. Otherwise, I rarely watch television unless I'm watching Kansas City Chiefs football. GO CHIEFS!!!!

You're as American as red meat and shooting ranges.
Tough and independent, you think big.
You love everything about the US, wrong or right.
And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!
How American Are You?
I read a lot of different things. The criminal mind has always interested me and I've always wondered just what exactly made those kind of people tick, so I read a lot of true crime books, law enforcement and counseling related books, psychological thrillers, true stories about or by our Brave American Military men and women, some fiction and pretty much whatever else catches my interest...
My parents (Rest In Peace Mom, I Miss You!), Marty and my son Craig, both pictured below.
All of the brave men and women serving in America's Armed Forces. They're out there, day in and day out, risking their lives, so we don't have to. They have and deserve my utmost respect and admiration. Each and every one of them I have met act like the sacrifices they make every day is no big deal, that it's just a job. But they're risking their lives, to make sure that we all continue to enjoy the rights and freedoms, we've grown accustomed to here in the USA.Want to learn more about how our American Heroes think and their life?
