Marine Sgt Hixson on WTCB
"When They Come Back" is a great tribute to our uniformed men and women. Being an Iraq Vet this song was like a bittersweet time machine. One second I was eagerly listening for the next line in the lyrics, and the next second I found myself flooded with memories of the war and the brothers we lost. There hasn't been a more moving song to send chills down my spine since Tim McGraw's "If You're Reading This" or John Michael Montgomery's "Letters From Home." Instantly I loved the song. Derek you are a true patriot. Thank you.
