Over the past several years Daniel has focused on a personal project
called "Songs for the Soldiers," to supply music to our troops
around the world.
Funds to sponsor these CD's have come from
donations, and profits from his "Concerts for the Troops."
Since
their inception these concerts have helped to bring the gift of
music to thousands of
our service men and women serving their country overseas.In Daniel Rodriguez's own
words... "I am very
honored to be recognized for something that comes naturally
for me. I love my country and those who fight and die, so
that I can have the freedom to stand up and say what I feel.
I have visited the hospitals where our young men and woman
continue to fight, but now it is for themselves. They fight
to hear, to see, to stand, some fight to find what they have
lost, and others to understand why.
I fight for them all, to make sure we never forget them. We
always stand behind them and when they cannot walk, we will
stand up for them. Our country has its faults and other
countries love to criticize but look how far we have come,
when we have not been here as long as they have. Not bad for
the new kids on the block. May our future be guided by faith
and common sense."
