Song "Road to Recovery" in Support of Our Troops

Diana D'Itri, CMO/Partner/Host of Web TV Network, gave me permission to share with you the song she co-wrote in support of our troops. She emailed me about the song:

The song initiated from a poem [by Marc Cattapan] that was sent to me from a man who volunteers for an organization called Ride 2 Recovery. I rewrote it and put music to it and had one of my singer friends sing lead. It was a labor of love as it was all volunteer (except for a few hundred dollars for the recording studio). All musicians are personal friends and my daughter and I sang back up.

Here are the credits and lyrics. And then listen to the MP3 below.
