The response to this song has been truly overwhelming, and we have all of you, our friends to thank for it. We have received word that we have interest from a major wartime support group who wishes to help distribute our song. We have also received interest from two major record labels who are hoping to shop the song to major recording industry artists. We are assembling a generous donation in conjunction with our internet and local record store sales thanks to your generousity. God Bless America!

The M.R.S. Project is composed of three musicians who have played together in various bands over the years. Comin' Home is a song written about members of the U.S. Armed Forces getting to return home to their family and friends. The song was heard by a serviceman who had just returned home from Iraq, who then played it for a local DJ. The song began playing on a local radio station (98.5 KRZ-FM)"The Rocky and Sue Show with Psycho Mike" and received a tremendous amount of support. The request lines and e-mail boxes started to fill up with people who were touched by the song. Our MySpace page has received over 3000 hits and has been heard the world over. The band is making a donation to charities that support military families whose spouses are overseas, from the proceeds of the song's sale.
If you see soldiers anywhere this holiday season, please Let Them Go First! Don’t hesitate to tell others, too, because they’re just waiting a way to show our soldiers and their families how much we care and support them, especially during the Holiday Season.
And for my LTG1 friends, many Blessings to you and your loved ones. I am keeping you all in my “group prayer.” God Bless you all!
Below is what we can do to help us promote Let Them Go First and support our soldiers and their families. Just do what our friend Johnnie Bubar did:
"I'd like to know more about this. I happened to be at the airport in Nashville on Sunday 9/10/06 and there was a soldier there returning from Iraq. I asked him if he had seen the emails going around or any info on this and he said "no".
"So I took it upon myself and went to the front of the line and made an announcement about this very thing and got him to the front of the line AND got him a standing ovation from all the folks there. I didn't have any authority to do a thing like this, I seized the moment!
"I figured that the worst that would happen is I get laughed at or shouted at or something. Quite the contrary! He was also made an announcement of by the Captain onboard over the plane's PA system. He was bought drinks and/or anything else he wanted.
"To make a long story a bit shorter, the folks aboard that flight tried to make his flight a memorable one. One gentleman shouted out, "He does what he does so we can do what we do". Best wishes friend!!" - Johnnie Bubar
Johnnie shows the spirit of the LTG1 grassroots campaign! Let us know what you've done, too, or if you are a soldier, if anyone let you go first!
