Notes & Reviews:

For some, the "call of duty" is to defend their fellow citizens; for others, it is the call to preserve a way of life. When our country is in a time of need, the American Soldier answers this call willingly. Over the years, Soldiers have defended the cause of freedom and democracy, and, in honor of the sacrifices they have made, this album was created to commemorate the dedication and service of our nation's heroes. This album contains: "Summon the Heroes," "The Testament of Freedom," "The Invincible Eagle," "Liberty for All" with special narration by General Vincent K. Brooks, "A Place Called Home," "A Letter from Mom," "America: A Musical Memorial," "God Bless America," "The Army Goes Rolling Along," "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagles Fly," "Let Freedom Ring," "I'm a Soldier- Warrior Ethos," and "God Bless America." Call to Duty honors all American Soldiers, past, present, and future, who have answered the call to serve our nation.
