From the recording Battlefield Cross
Battlefield Cross
Battlefield Cross is a powerful tribute to the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who have answered the call to serve with courage, honor, and unwavering dedication. Inspired by the solemn symbol of the battlefield cross—a soldier’s rifle planted firmly in the ground, helmet resting atop the stock, and boots standing in silent formation—this song honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and the freedoms we hold dear.
This tribute is dedicated to the memory of our fallen heroes, while also expressing deep gratitude to the active-duty service members who continue to stand watch across the globe and to the veterans whose service has shaped and protected our country. It also recognizes the strength, resilience, and enduring love of Gold Star families, whose sacrifices are carried with quiet dignity every day.
Battlefield Cross is more than a song; it is a remembrance. It is a promise that the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of America’s heroes will never be forgotten. May it serve as a reminder that freedom is never free, and that every name, every life, and every sacrifice deserves our deepest respect and eternal gratitude.
To every service member, veteran, and Gold Star family: thank you. Your sacrifice has secured the liberties we cherish, and your legacy will forever live in the hearts of a grateful nation.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our studio engineer, Andrew Atkins Owner/Operator of Electrohead Studios, the amazing heartfelt violin accompyment by Lacie Carpenter, and our executive producer, Karen Armstrong, whose talent and dedication helped bring this tribute to life. God Bless America
