Hi Tony,
Once again I came to visit your site. And once again I have to say your tunes on supporting the troops are awesome... It is so very important to our soldiers to know how much you care and we as a Free Country Support all the soldiers and their dedication to keep America Safe..I Salute you my friend as well as all that are serving Past, Present and Future.
This also brings me to say how proud I am of my cousin, Mark Wilson from Pennsylvania who is now back in Iraq serving our Country once again. I hope Mark will see this post and know that his family back in Pennsylvania is thinking and praying for his safe return.
God Bless our Soldiers and keep them Safe
Thanks Tony for all that you do for the Troops and keep the tunes coming.
Stay Safe
Trish

I have not been to your site here for awhile...the twins and oldest keep me pretty occupied these days! Everytime I put on 'Picture of You', I think of my friend Kenneth...he's over in Iraq last I knew. I have not heard from him in over a year and I don't know what to think anymore. I remember sending him, via email, my picture, and he printed it and said he was taking it with him since he had no girlfriend or wife, and we were pretty good friends at that time. I sure hope he's ok. I've had 5 'soldiers' in three divisions of the military, that I've prayed for since they left. Two are personal friends, the other three were gotten from a war prayer site. I've not had word that they have returned, so I keep praying for them.
Hugs,

I just wanted to use this site to say how grateful my family and I for all of you men and women in the armed forces. We talk about you and what you are doing for all of us, our country, and the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
I hope and pray that you all will come home safely, and that for the rest of your lives you find satisfaction and pride in what you are accomplishing over there. Most of us take our freedom for granted in the US, but I am sure that those you are helping will never forget in the years to come that their freedom came from your dedication and sacrifices from you and your families.
May God bless all of you and watch over you until your safe return. We will welcome you home with open arms and gratitude.

| Hi! You probably don't remember me, but I'm Don Karcher's daughter. He had sent you to come visit us while he was away and you were a Lt. I just wanted to say thanks for thinking about our soldiers in Iraq. My brother John is over there right now, and it always reminds me of what we went through when my dad was in Saudi. I just wanted to say Hi and thanks!! |

Tony, I sure wish I had speakers right now...I want to hear this so bad. My son had a photo of ME in his pocket when he died...it was all bumpy and rough and looked like he must have kept it with him all the time. I sent it to him right after he left and this made me think of it...I'll have to put that in a photo album. I was so happy that he had me with him....because my heart was with him in Iraq. and still is with him. I let the tears flow telling you about this...as I am grateful for you honoring them...and remembering them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart my friend...Jacque  |

Dear Mr Tony Diana. Thank you so very much for the CD, I listen to it every day and will share it with my class at Glide Elementary 5th grade. When I remember my Uncle James I cry and smile all over. To me he was "Uncle Smack-down" because every time he came over he would pick me up and throw me on a soft piece of furniture until I giggled then he would give me one of his big bear hugs. I miss him a lot, but I know he is in heaven and someday we will all be there to see him. My favorite song and video is "I" -even though it always makes my parents cry I know it is because they miss him and are very proud of him. My Uncle James is a hero. I love the poem "Earn This". You are a hero too because you helped my parents to heal by honoring Uncle James. You are like an angel, and we love to listen to you sing. My other favorite song is Picture of You. That one really get to them, not sad but proud. Thank you for the CD and for thinking of me. My Uncle would have thought you were an awesome friend, because he shared so much of himself with everyone. You would have like him too. My Daddy wishes he could bring you out here for a visit, maybe someday. He would like to take you salmon fishing, like him and Uncle used to go together. If you ever come this far please come and stay with us, I want to hear you sing and I want to share more of my Uncle James with you. You are awesome.
Love, Ariana Lee Henson-Moore (daughter of Garry and Suzanne Moore)
We love you. God bless you |

I work at a Police Training Academy and we have had all these services come in for training or update on their training. All are very dedicated to what they do. I think it is awesome how you have gave tribute to them!

(Regarding "I, a Tribute to the Fallen")...Im french and my english is not good im sorry
i crying during this video
i like soldiers in general because i respect her jobs
its a VERY GOOD video
and i finish in french im sorry
je trouve cette video sublime, elle représente des hommes et des femmes qui partent la ou leur pays leur dient d’aller meme s’ils ne sont pas forcément d’accord et c’est cela qui est beau: l’esprit patriotique
je n’adhère pas beaucoup aux méthodes des politiciens américains mais je ne peux rester incessible face à temps de courage et de dévouement de la part des soldats américains anglais australiens etc..

(Regarding "I, a Tribute to the Fallen"....I wrote you from SPAIN, and I wish to express my thanks from EUROPE, to all american soldiers, for their efforts and sacrifices for freedom in this generation, and in the past. Because without the people of their kind, for sure that I wouldn’t be free to do and think what i want, instead of have to do and think what other people said my to do and think… in german or russian. And thats the perfect proof for all those leftish, protesters and STALIN lovers, that if your country is an empire, IT´S AN EMPIRE OF FREEDOM.
I wish you enjoy the memorial day, and thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart. |

(Regarding "I, a Tribute to the Fallen")....It’s was good just to stop life for a few minutes just to listen to this tribute, and see the images. Within just those few minutes my insides were stirred up with a mixture of passion, upset, grief, sadness and frustration. Real conviction and hopelessness, but complete respect and absolute admiration for those soldiers and their families in the photographs.
We all need to stop our own busy lives and remember and absorb whats still going on. Think about where our servicemen both American, British and allied forces are at the moment and what they are doing and how they are coping. Send a prayer out to them, God be with them all! |

Dear troops and veterans. I'm Anna 28 year Swedish living in Sweden. I just want to say THANK YOU for serving and God bless you. I think you are ALL heroes.
Heres a poem I wrote for you. Hope you like.
THE DIFFERENT KIND OF SUPERHERO.
Theres a different kind of superhero.
He has no superpowers and he doesn't wear a cape.
His only weakness is his humanity. And the superpowers is in his heart.He flies without a cape, using parachute and/or plane.
His superhero's gear is in his 60 pound backpack.
He is not susceptible to kryptonite but bullets can kill him.
Unlike the superheros in comic books, this Hero sometimes works days without rest or sleep.This Hero can cry and he sure knows the meaning of loss and pain .
This Hero can cook his own meals and he will go hungry for days if he has to. This Hero has a girlfriend or wife waiting and worrying about him at home.
This Hero misses them SOOO much and sends them his love as often he thinks about them and that's ALL the
time.This Hero kills with bullets and knows how to use a weapon, but this hero doesnt like to kill at all.
This Hero wears camouflage instead of a flashy outfit.This Hero always carries a pic of his loved ones under his bodyarmor. He believes it protects better than any kevlar.
This Hero sings the anthem with pride and joy.
He is the one fighting for all that it stands for. His beloved country.
This Hero is not as old as the ordinary comic superheros.
He is mostly between 18-25.
This Hero fears death but he fears even more the loss of any of his comrades.
This Hero has seen more evil and death than Superman ever has
and it breaks his good heart.
This Hero gets scared sometimes but he knows someone has to
fight the evil and he does it with love and pride.
This Hero doesn't wear a mask, he works undercover.
The magazines don't write about this Hero when he does good or
save lives 'cause this Hero works anonymously.
This Hero LOVES his people and country so much he is prepared to die for it A different kind of SuperHero.
Whose REAL powers is in his heart.
Who is this Hero?
The American Soldier.
The different kind of SuperHero.
A Hero is never fallen; he rests in the arms of God.
God bless the soldier wherever he may be at air , land or sea cause the freedom is theirs. " If there was no heroes defending freedom there would be no freedom to defend
Anna in Sweden a.k.a LilSarge.

 I just want to say Thank You for the wonderful song and video "Picture of You". My husband had them in his helmet during his Iraq tour for 15 months. He is due to leave again after Christmas and I am very terrified. I know this sounds crazy and maybe even wrong but part of me wonders if he will make it back home safe twice. I can't lose him, he's my heart, soul, everything. I'm nothing without him. I am in tears as I write this and right now I'm not suppose to be getting stressed but it is too hard.
I know what he does is a great thing to do but I don't want him to go. I do stand by him through all of this and we have to make it through, especially him. He joined the Army right after he graduated and now we only have around 5 1/2 yrs left and he retires.
I thought I would put a picture of us the night he came home July 7, 2004, 3 :38 am. We will never forget that day, seeing them march in was truely one of the sweetest things I've seen. It was such a wonderful feeling knowing we were together again and he was safe.
Thank you,

He just came home from Iraq and couple days ago. He was there for over a year and might go back. Thank you for doing this for the troops and for the soldiers loved ones. This is really a blessing. Thank you also for showing and giving your support and respect to our Troops. It really hits your heart and mind when you hear the song "Picture of You" and the video that goes along with it says everything. The video is also great! "Picture of You" is a REAL TRUE song that tugs on your heart and will bring tears to your eyes. You and Your music are Awesome! Keep it up! You have touched my heart and Friends and Family all over the world! Keep the good work up and keep smiling Remember God loves you and we do too! |

 Hey, my name is Paulette Nelson. I would like to introduce you to my children William 9 and Madison 7. We live in Savannah, Ga. We live smack dab in the middle of two Army posts. So we are lucky enough to share our city with a large military population.
September 11th had a profound effect on my life. It was such a huge eye opener for me, as I'm sure it was for many people. You see, I've lived in Savannah my whole life. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I never really gave the military here much thought. Never thought about what they did or what they meant. September 11th changed that. In the days and weeks following September 11th we began to see convoys on the road and much more helicopter traffic flying over our house. You could just sense that something was going to happen and soon. And it did.....our friends and neighbors began leaving their families behind. They were leaving their families to go to an unknown place to right a wrong done to this nation. They were leaving with the sorrows of a country on their shoulders. What a heavy burden that must have been. It really hit home when my son's best friend Logan's dad got called up. William began asking questions. "Where did Logan's dad go? Why did he have to leave?" I told him Logan's dad was going to find the men that crashed the planes into the building so it wouldn't happen again. That we should be very thankful to everybody who is trying to protect our country. That we should thank every soldier that we saw.
Well I think my words sank in with them. Because now if they see a person in uniform they walk up and tell them, "Thank you for protecting our country." This poster was made by Madison for her daddy to hang up at his work place. The picture in itself speaks a thousand words. We all should thank a soldier. |

Dear Tony,
How are you? I hope you're fine. I'm very well. I want to say you: THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the gift which you gave me. It was a very fantastic surprise to find it in my mailbox yesterday. Your cd is very nice. I heard it with my friends in car last evening.
I'll go to summer holidays tomorrow so if you want to send me an email I can't read it until September when I'll come back home.

 Tony,
I received your autographed CD and camouflaged bandana with the words of the song on it ... Thank you so much! I will cherish it always and it will be placed with my son's items when I build a shadow box in his memory.
Here is one of the last pictures I saw of my son while he was alive. He was in Fallujah and an embedded reporter took this picture of him. He was very proud of this picture and of what he and his fellow Marines were doing over there. We are very proud of him and all the soldiers fighting for our freedoms that we enjoy. My son and all who have died for that freedom are HEROS!
May God Bless you and your family always!

Thank you for sending me your website. Your song is very moving. As I listen to it, ABC news is broadcasting about the Ohio Marines being killed. It is such a sad day in America. My heart goes out to all of the families. I am a very proud mom of a daughter in the Army Reserve. She is safely home after a year long deployment. I pray for the rest of our Military that they all come home safely soon! God Bless all of them for sacrificing for the rest of us!

Tony my Man;
what I have seen of it this site is really nice; you and your helpers have done a fine job.
I have a little problem with my video player on this )&@($^ computer, but I'll get it straightened out. I read about all of the messages, and I can see your care, compassion and talent have been used well, the positve comments coming back from those young people at home and in Iraq, is testimony to the fine job you have been doing. It helps immensely, we didn't have benefit of such as this for the troops in Korea 1950/51.
I would be interested to know what site you found me in, that prompted you to let me know you were MP as well. Keep up the good work and your site here will be placed in my favorites where I can check it periodicly . I intend to forward it to my mail addrs so they can enjoy. Cheers and god Bless John |

I really enjoyed you music. My husband is in Iraq now. That Picture of You really touched my heart. You have touched alot of friends and family. My mother-in-law has been writing songs and wants to get music put with it. We would love to hear from you and maybe you can help her. Take care of yourself and keep up the wonderful music.
Thank you for supporting our military. |

Thank you for emailing me this site, the song and the pictures were great. Please keep in your prayers a very good friend of mine who is stationed in Iraq, that he make it home safely. Also I'd like to ask that you keep in your prayers my two cousins who are both in the air force, but have not been deployed to Iraq as of yet, hopefully it will not come to that.
I would also like to say to all of our service men.....Thank You for everything you all do. I appreciate all your time and efforts in protecting our country to keep our families and friends safe.
To those who do not support the war, that's your choice, but the least you can do is support our troops who are fighting for your freedom.
Thank You Again. My prayers are with all of our military men and women who are fighting that they come home safe as well as with their families, I know this is a very difficult time for them as well. |

THANKS TONY FOR SENDING ME THE WEBSITE. ENJOYED THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES AND THE SONG.
I AM VERY PROUD OF OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES AND REALLY APPRECICATE THEM PROTECTING MY FREEDOM.
I GREW UP TO BE VERY PATRIOTIC. MY FATHER WAS IN PEARL HARBOR IN WORLD WAR II AND HIS SHIP WAS BLOWN INTO. A PIECE WENT THROUGH HIS LUNG AND HE WAS IN THE OCEAN FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THEY FOUND HIM. ALSO HIS BROTHER WAS IN THE MARINES AND HIS GROUP HELP PUT THE FLAG ON IWO JIMA,SO NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR GOOD WORK AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND AMERICA. |

Tony,
I enjoyed your site and want to hear your music. I collect phones for a couple of kids in Mass, they recycle them and buy calling cards for OUR troops in the Mideast. I highlight our because many people forget who they are and what they are doing for all of us. Their website is www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com. Check it out and maybe you could find a small spot on your website to put a small plug in for them. It's a great thing they are doing.
Thanks,
John

Thank you for another opportunity to express my admiration for the young men and women serving this great country. They have sacrificed so much by leaving loved ones and putting their lives on the line for strangers. I pray that God will protect them and bring them home safely to their loved ones. |

Dear Tony
My heart is overflowing with love and respect for everyone of our military persons and their families. They are the life of our country because without them we are without FREEDOM.
Your music is awsome.
Also I am in thought of the sorrow that some are bringing to our beloved country/nation not only through terrorism but also wanting to deny our right to believe in GOD to have the right to pray when and where we want, have the ten commandments displayed any where we wish to and for victims to have more rights than criminals.
I needed to voice my thought's hope they do not offend anyone. May God Bless you and keep up the awsome music and great work. I know it is helpful to our military people and their families as well. I do have now and in the past family in the military.
Blessings

Dear Tony
Thank you for sharing your CD and web site with so many. It is beautiful, I enjoyed it very much. I wish you so much success with your CD. It is wonderful. My son is in the Army and going over there for the second time, this time for fourteen months, minimum. My heart goes out to all of our dedicated men and women in the military, and I pray nightly for the safe return of all of them. How very proud we are of them. The Military are a very special breed of people, God's children. I love them all, they amaze me, with their commitment and dedication and love of our country. As you can tell I am very patriotic, we are retired military, of over 25 years. Now it's our son's turn. Again good luck, Tony.

 I just wanted to say the song Pictures Of You really touched my heart, the first time I heard it i cried and listened to it at least five more times. It will always remind me of my brother LCPL Ben Carman, who was killed in Iraq. Anyways thanks for such a beautiful memory of not only him, but all service members. |

 Hello, my husband Sgt. Nicholaus Bloom has left for Iraq.(05-15-2005). He is in the 48th Brigade Army National Guard, Troop E 108th Cav and has been at Ft. Stewart,GA for 5 months. He isn't scheduled to come back no earlier than June 2006 or possibly December 2006. We have only been married for 13 days. I would gladly take any advice or new friends. I do not know much about the military. He has been in the military for 13 years and this isn't his first deployment, but it is mine and I am scared to death. I feel like my heart has been ripped out. I had to watch him walk away from me when Family Day/Sendoff Ceremony concluded. It was the hardest thing, watching your loved on walk away not knowing if you would ever see them again. I put my trust in God and I know I will see him again.
I praise and salute all of our True American Heros, all of our troops fighting for what we take for granted. Peace, freedom and the reason we all wake up in the morning. All of my thoughts and prayers are with each and every soldier, family and loved ones. May you all come home safe and very soon.
Anyone feel free to email me at :
armywife4108@peoplepc.com
armywife@aol.com
If there is anyone else that is has someone in the 48th Brigade out of Ft. Stewart, Ga please contact me. I have several questions I need answered.
Does anyone know if there are anh message boards or forums for the 48th Brigade families?
I support our troops!!!!!!
I Love You Sgt. Bloom |

Hi Tony,
I wanted to write and tell you I received your newly released CD Picture Of You with 11 other AWESOME songs on the CD. Tony I have to tell you I can't believe how incredible
this CD is.. Each song is so special and I can place myself and thoughts into each one of these songs as memories or as something that is taking place in my life now. I have both smiled and cried in each of these. Tony, your writing of the words and your singing, along with the instruments I hear in all the songs are magical, just wonderful. I just can't believe there isn't just one wonderful song but 12 awesome songs on this CD. I guess I am used to a CD that has one good song, but not this time, I have 12...I am just so happy for you that you work is completed on the CD and I know that all that receive it will feel the same as I do...What can I say, this CD is moving, loving, touching and supporting all wrapped in in one.
Also thank you for having Picture of you on here,This song will still remain one of my favorites...
People you have to get this CD, you don't know what you are missing... Let me tell you.. The samples here on the site...Well when you hear the complete song you will understand what I am saying...All I can say is Wow!! Fantastic..
Also Tony I would like to take this time to thank you for all the time and effort you put into supporting our troops and all that you do for the troops. Your dedication to your Country is an Honor and thank you also for serving our Country our Great Nation.
And again thank you for bringing this awesome new CD Release to all of us.. A Top Perfection Job of 12 Beautiful Songs..
My best to you

 Tony,
As a proud mother of a deployed soldier (picture attached from Iraq of my soldier), I just wanted to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I can’t wait until my cd and scarves come in. I am sending one to my son and giving the other one to a friend, whose husband is also serving in Iraq.
You are truly a blessed person to have come up with those touching words in the song. I have cried many tears listening to your song. I have told my son that I have a special surprise coming from you.
Thanks again for supporting our troops,

You had sent me a signed copy of your single this past July signed with a message from you for my birthday. I love your song so much that when I listen to it I think about the time when I'll be thinking about my husband being in Iraq. There's a possibility that he'll be going in September. My mother, Sherry Doty has been here along with her friend Kaci Jo. I also want to thank everyone for believing in all the men and women who keep this country free! You are a truely amazing person and thank you so much! God Bless You!! |

I SAY AGAIN BECAUSE I AM A MOTHER OF TWO BOYS THAT HAVE JUST GONE OVER, TWO BROTHERS THAT HAVE CHOOSEN TO SERVE IN THE 48th BRIGADE OUT OF GAINESVILLE GEORGIA. I AM SO PROUD OF THEM AND ALL OUR MEN WHO HAVE CHOOSEN TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY IN THIS WAY. THEY GIVE UP A LOT WHILE WE SIT BACK AT HOME WAITING FOR THEIR RETURN. LET US ALL REMEMBER OUR GUYS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN OUR PRAYERS ALL THE TIME. TO HAVE ONE SON OR DAUGHTER OVER THERE IS TOUGH, BUT TO HAVE TWO, WELL LETS JUST SAY,,, I'M MAKING IT WITH LOTS OF PRAYERS AND FAMILY TO KEEP ME GOING. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC AND WORDS THAT IMSPIRE HOPE AND PEACE TO US HERE AT HOME. |

closeness that i have with that song and video. And my question to you is:
Can i use your video as one of my songs and videos at my displays? (Copy of Flash Video emailed to SPC Roper) |

Tony,
This link was sent to me by my friend Linda Reese. The song is so moving and sweet. The slideshow that goes with it was also very touching. I am proud of all the soldiers who put their lives on the line everyday in the name of freedom. God Bless America!!

Good luck and God bless you and the troops!

Tony,
My fiance and I did have a chance to check out your website this weekend. It is truly wonderful and I wanted to write and say "thank you" for what you are doing. My fiance was deployed with the Marines to Iraq for 9 months and he says pictures and letters really are what keep those guys going. Please continue your tribute to the troops....I know it means a lot to them.

 Thank-you Tony for the email sharing your website and "picture of you" with us. It could not have come at a more appropriate time. My daughters fiancee is at Fort Bliss, Tx waiting to be deployed to Iraq and it is a very sad time for all of us. The song is beautiful and we are forwarding it to our soldier so he can enjoy it and share it with his friends. We are fortunate that we have these brave young men and women to defend our country and they are deserving of all the support we can give them. I would like to share a website where you can order a free bracelet to wear in support of our troops: www.virtualarmory.com In closing I am sharing the last picture we have of our soldier as he was preparing to board a plane and leave his family to go to a strange country and fight for freedom. As he stared off in the distance we can only imagine what was going through his mind.. |

One word,
"WONDERFUL!"
May God Bless You
abundantly above all you've ever dreamed!
I've literally sat here 20 minutes trying to think of what I could say that would even come close to being as powerful as the words and the photos of "Picture of You" and I can't find them.
Words just can't begin to say what I think in my mind, how my heart aches while my eyes fill with tears of sadness AND PRIDE!!!
Many, many blessings to you and your family and thank you for serving, for caring and for sharing. |

| Tony- thanks so much for this powerfully moving song! As I stated to you in an email, it's people like you who make a difference to the families, friends and the soldiers themselves! It's heart-warming to see the level of care and concern folks like you display in an age where the media and even our own politicians mock our country and what our soldiers do. To our soldiers and their families I send a BIG Texan hug your way followed by warm thoughts, many prayers and the hope that you return safe and sound! May God protect y'all, give you strength, encouragement and hope! |

| As a wife who has a husband serving in Iraq I can completely relate to this song. The lyrics are so true to heart. It is hard to put into words the feelings you have unless you have expierenced the seperation of a loved one going to serve our counry. Somehow you have captured the emotion that all of us miliatary families go through each and every day that we are separated. My sincerest thank you for helping with such a beautiful song. God Speed to all the men and women who are separated from the ones they love, untill they all come home. Thank-You again!! Amy Sartor-Leslie |

| Thanks Tony For inviting me to look at your site. I think it is wonderful... I really enjoyed all that you have done. I have adopted families to pray for. I know without our prayers to support our troops it would be very hard for them to do the things they have to do. Without our soldiers we would not be able to sleep at night or have the peace that we have. Regardless of what other think. Peace sometimes is not an option. Some leaders of other countries do not want peace they want total control. This cannot be allowed if we want to be able to sleep peacefully in our beds at night. Sometimes we have to do what we have to do, and pray God protects our loved one in the process. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful site. Debbie |

Coming from a military family, with a younger brother serving in the Navy, your song, Picture of You, brought tears to my eyes. I thank you for the song, it will definitely be shared and recommended to eveyone I know and even some I don't. I am looking forward to the release of your cd. I am very thankful for our military members and the job they do, they are my heroes. May they all come home swiftly and safely. Thank You Again!!! You Rock!! Jeanine |

As a spouse of a Army soldier about to go through our second deployment to Iraq (he leaves in a few short days), I just wanted to say that your song DID capture the emotion. Being the wife, watching that video and hearing that song... I can only imagine how my husband and other soldiers feel being away. You did a wonderful job.

Hood Tx. We need to remember to take care of the family of the troops that are taking care of us.
Thank you for your email and your support for our troops.

Thank you for your song PICTURE OF YOU. It makes me cry every time i hear it, but i keep replaying over and over. My name is SPC Bailey. I am stationed in S. Korea. I left 2 young boys behind. My little brother is in Iraq and he left behind a son and newborn daughter. My other little brother is in basic training right now and left behind a young son. I emailed your song to everyone in my address book and i also sent it to my local radio station in Cincinnati. I asked them to play it for all the men in women of the armed forces. You can never imagine the pain we feel every day for leaving behind a spouse or kids. Thank you again. Also, isn't that beerforsoldiers site great! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

| A few words of thanks and support for all servicemen and women serving their countries in far off places ,like Iraq and afghanistan.Your cause is a just one although others may disagree.Those that disagree should realise that your efforts give them the opportunity to protest.In countries like Iraq and Afghanistan to protest would be to find yourself incarcerated at the very least or even face a death sentence.I personally support each and every one of you, no matter what country you are from, be it America, Australia or Britain.I include also the aid workers from the many other countries involved.May you all return home to your families and loved ones safe and well.May I also take the opportunity to wish you the greetings of the season. God Bless and thank you for your efforts. |

Also know that you are part of a family of the finest educated group of people ever in the history of mankind to go to a country to bring peace and freedom for others as well as the U.S.A. Look out for each other and think positive, always.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! |

I sent a link to him and wish to have a copy to share with him and with our Family Readiness Group. My husband's with the National Guard and no amount of time prepares you for what this kind of separation will be like. The words of your song are very easy to believe and I can hear my husband saying them to me. May all our soldiers stay safe and come home soon. |

| Hello Tony, I was very fortunate to receive an email from a special Army friend of mine today. "Picture of You"...a song well-done. The picture of our soldiers heading out to board the Air Force planes/I have a similar picture of when my son SSG. Mario Singer(173 Airborne) was getting ready to leave Aviano Air Base in Italy March 26, 2002 to paratroop into Northern Iraq and I do consider myself a very fortunate mother to have her son return safe. Thank You! |

| Wow...great song and wonderful tribute to our brave men and women. I went to war the 1st time with Iraq in 90-91 and if I could I would go back and fight again. (The war changes you, be forwarned. When your military member comes back, seek readjustment counseling for them and your family.) May God bless the U.S.A. and keep us safe! |

I'm a Brit ex-Fleet Air Arm officer and I would like to add the support of myself and my fellow '49ers' to what you are doing out there to make the world a safer, better place. I was a schoolboy in England when your fathers and grandfathers did the same for us in WW2 and we will never forget the sacrifices they made then or those you are making now.
Our thanks and sincerest wishes to you, the Brits, and the forces of all nations involved in the fight for an Iraqi freedom, for your safe return home.

Dear Sir,
I have to tell you. I got choked up watching and listening to your song. I kept a picture of my kids in my helmet last year when I was in Iraq just like the ones you had. Your words capture the spirit and sentiments of our men over there now. God Bless you . I wish you all the success in the world. Our guys need a good voice for them ! |

| Tony, thank you so much for sending me an email with the link to your website. Your music is touching and your Tribute brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for all the work you have done for our soldiers. My husband is Active Duty Army and currently stationed in Ft. Benning working as a Drill Instructor. We have one more year at this duty station. Previously, he's been in Korea, Ft. Bragg, NC and Vicenza, Italy. I don't think many people realize the work that goes into just being a soldier..it's a job that never ends. I appreciate the efforts you have put forth to support our military and thank you for the service you gave to our Country. God Bless you and please let me know when you release your CD..I would love a copy! I'm also telling all of my friends about your website! |

| Hi! I had an honour to visit this great site and I read many messages. I used to date an American soldier, stationed in Germany (I also visited the military base few times). When the war with Iraq started I supported the American troops and of course, still do and follow the news and happenings there and am saddened to know that there still are losses of the soldiers. Anyway, you do a valuable work and you should be proud of yourself. There are thousands and thousands of people who support you and not all of them are Americans! God bless you all - where ever you are. |

Please let me know as soon as I can purchase a copy of your CD. if the other songs on it are even half as great as this one, i know you have a hit on your hands.
Thank You!

Tony,
Thanks for that very moving song. I just got back from serving in Iraq and remember many of the places that you had pictures of not to mention my husband just left too! How can I get a copy of the CD or at least the song? It would truly mean the world to me considering the circumstances.
Thanks,

Hi Tony!
Thanks for your e-mail to find this site and let me enjoy it. Thought, i can write my answer here instead of e-mail, so others can read too that i liked your song!
Especially the rhythm/voice/pictures and the parts of the text i could translate, because thats a bit difficult for me and so i heared it more times...lol
This iraq-theme is interesting for me, cause one of my best friends father fled from saddam 20 years ago, married here a german woman and even here he dont felt realy safe in this years, cause he thought that Saddams helpers even work in other countries and "they have long arms".
In 1991 during the 1st. war against the regime he hoped for the best, but as he saw the regime still in Power he was very disapointed about this, cause he thought in "going back there".
Now he is integrated here and too old to go back, but his family near Mosul/ he phones often and so i am a bit informed through this contacts about the real situation.
only a little piece of the full situation, but the most people there try to do the best for a good future"
most of them still have other things to do rather than being a terrorist and throwing bombs.
So if i get THIS informations+such like in the Internet(here) and in comparison with the informations i get all day long here in TV/radio/newspaper its a bit like day and night!
Sometimes i think important "mainstream-producer" here dont WANT a positive solution for this conflict, whip up emotions or so...
And after the won reelection of Bush, the "long/I cant understand why- faces" here produced a laughing in me, cause for me it was not fair-play, how all medias/politicans had thrown dirty phrases on Bush and praised Kerry as the much-much better solution, even if nobody realy knowed him.
Our own government produce enough confusion/ stupid things since years, so its not necessary to fish in foreign waters!.
Hope my thoughts/words are clear enough to be understandable!
Greetings!

| Jesus, I lift up before your throne of grace all our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their families back home. I thank you, Jesus, for the peace that passes undersanding, and I thank you that as they read these words, you are imparting that same peace and comfort to each one of them. Lord, may each one know how precious they are to You! May each one take Psalm 91 and know that they are the one you wrote it for. Help them to realize, Jesus, that those are not just words, but that the protection in that psalm is tangible and real and that when they come to you and ask you to protect them, you will do it, just as you protected Sergeant York against all odds. Jesus, every single one of these has shown themselves willing to lay down their lives to help the Iraqi people be free, to help Afghanistan be free, and to help the world be free from terrorism. Bless their sacrifice, Lord! May they know to the core of their being how much we at home love them and honor them and pray for them and support them. And now, Lord, I pray for angels to guard each one. I pray for angels above them, and angels beneath them, and angels on their left, and angels on their right, and angels before them, and angels behind them. May they never feel alone. May they always sense your comforting presence. Bring each and every one home safely to those who love them, in Jesus' Name, I pray, amen. |

Tony-
Your song "Picture of You" is truly very touching, it really struck a chord with me. I'm so happy to have found it. It has helped me feel connected to the world I am eager to return to where I know I am loved. I can't wait to be back with my beautiful boyfriend whose picture I keep inside my body armor. I love you Bruce and I'll be with you again.

Tony, I got your e-mail and want to thank you for sharing your site with me. The song
"Picture of you" is so awesome and i love the video! I had tears starting to well up. I see these people and it's like i almost feel what they are feeling. I want to thank our military for going to fight for what they believe in! I am so honored that they are doing this for me! My husband was a marine for 4 years long before i met him. He went through alot but he made it out and we just got married may 1st 04. He and i are going to send a care package to a few people out there who are serving. Our hearts are in it! I also wanted to mention (out of respect) that farenheit 9/11 was not true! I saw Farenhype 9/11 and i was floored! It is true coming from very reliable sources. I know a woman mentioned it in a comment. I just had to say that . If people watch this dvd , they will hopefully find the truth like my husband and i did. It is excellent.Thanks again tony! There are MANY people praying for the soldiers and i know people who have people in their families who are in iraq. God Bless! |

Your site is great.
I will always support The US Troops and The USA.
Without The US MIlitary, there would not be the free europe and since I am living in Finland, I know what freedom is. Russians tried to win us in WWII but we beat them, our Veterans did a great job.
Veteran's Day salutations to all Veterans here and there.
Visit also www.larrythorne.com the Finn who was KIA during a secret cross border operation near Laos 1965, as a member of the US SOG unit, he is also a legend in the Special Forces. The book "Green Berets"aswellas the movie tells about him !!!

My son is currently getting ready for deployment to Iraq and leaving his wife and 2 month old son. Today a friend sent me a copy of your song Picture of You. It was such an inspiration to him that someone else here is thinking of the heartache that he will face along this journey. Thank You so very much.

Oh my gosh, Tony! You emailed me 3 weeks ago, and though I read your email when I recieved it, I hadn't gotten a chance to look at your site. My mistake, since your song is absolutely, beautifully touching!! The slideshow matched it perfectly.
Though at the moment my website is disabled, (ID theft during summer-trying to get it up again) I had a page for those who want to help our people overseas. I was a chairperson for Yellow Ribbon America for a short time, and my son and I write to military people overseas when we can.
I'd like to thank all those in the military for being where they don't want to be, away from those they don't want to be away from, but hoping to serve humankind by making the world just a little better.
I ALSO WANT TO SAY TO ANY MILITARY PERSON WHO WISHES TO CORRESPOND WITH SOMEONE, THAT I WILL HAPPILY WRITE BACK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO WRITE TO ME. I'M IN ARIZONA; BAMBIPURR@YAHOO.COM. I'd like to give my home address, but don't think that's a good idea here, in a public forum, so if you can get an email to me, and want my snail mail, I WILL respond and give it.
TONY: wonderul song, lovely voice! Kudos. |

Hi there Tony,
Great song and the voice reminds me of George Harrison. You should post a link at booksforsoldiers.com if you haven't already....I like your comparison
with staying in the car to listen to a good tune... Just recently at my favorite "time stands still spot" I wondered if soldiers had the opportunity to have that place as well. Now from your writings I know that place exists in the "pictures of you"...
everhigher,

Like my sister, who also left a comment exactly 20 e-mails ago, I don't have any loved ones in Iraq. I have however adopted MY Marines...Lcpl Bobby Barnett and Lcpl Nu' Souvannavaul. I am so very proud to know them, even if only by letters. I don't know who took the pictures for you but they are very moving. Keep it up. America needs more people like you! |

I have been sending care packages to Iraq for over a year now. I have around 30 really good pen-pals. I don't have a loved one in the military but I do have "my Soldiers". I have forwarded the link you sent me to every one of them and told them to send it to their loved ones at home. This is just to awesome not too. The song is absolutley beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. I know my Soldiers will appreciate it as much as I do. How thoughtful, how caring, how great it is to have people like you.

 Hi Tony~ I just saw the link to this song on booksforsoldiers.com and thought I would take a look. At first I thought, it was a nice song...then the pictures and words all hit me at once and before I knew it, I was bawling like a baby and imagining what it will be like when my husband finally steps off that plane and comes home to our family. He is an Officer in the Air Force and has been in Iraq since June. We have two boys (5 & 3) who miss him terribly and this song sums it all up perfectly. Thank you so much for your dedication and compassion- we all need it right now!!! |

Just heard "My Picture of You," on your website.
I cried my eyes out, but I have been doing that a lot lately, especially after seeing "Fahrenheit 9/11."
I am a mother with two young children, no one I know is fighting in this war, but I feel a tremendous obligation to support our soldiers with cards, letters, care packages, and yes, now I will also be sure to send pictures!
Your song is absolutely beautiful and touches my soul.
THANK YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART.

Listening to the song and watching the video made me realize that it is not only me hurting because of my BIG BROTHER over there fighting for our freedom, but also someone that meant the world to me and still to this day does, my ex fiancee is serving in the war currently and I thank him everytime that I hear from him, even when he is just writing to say that he is okay, believe it or not we do still talk it was not one of those relationships that just ends without another word.......just a word to everyone that has loved ones over serving for our country and what we believe in, tell them every time that you hear from them that you love them and miss them and hope to see them soon, I DO believe me it lifts their spirits and their hopes and helps them get through their day................

As a Chief in the Navy, I appreciate everyone out there who stops me and thanks me for serving my country. My two youngest are now serving the Navy and Coast Guard proudly bringing it to a 5th generation. If there were more people out there that would stop a servicemember in uniform and thank them for their tireless effort, honor and intergrity, it would make us feel appreciated. |

Hello Tony,
My name is John Lachina and a vet from Viet Nam. A month ago you sent me an email and I put it aside but recently opened it and your Song was just beautiful.
Matter of fact, it touched me and one of the most recent webpages that I made, I encluded the same near the bottom of the site to click onto. You can view it if you call up the below link.
http://johnlachina.com/jimdolph.html
I love to putter with webpages and my heart goes out to the Men and Women fighting for our FREEDOM. As you mentioned in your letter, this is how you got introduced to me and dropped me that note.
Just wanted to say Thank You and will be passing your page to all my Family, Friends, Members of my many Groups and co-workers. Looking forward to flicking the radio and hear your song being played. Great Job .

Tony, Thanks for sending me this site info. My son Nicholas Brenner is with the 25th (Light) Division out of Hawaii. He has been in Iraq since January. This has been the longest eight months of my life. I pray for him and all the soldiers many times a day. I know Nick will come home safely. He has to. Without him I wouldn't be me! I loved your song. Please let me know when your CD is released, I will buy copies for my whole family. Keep up the good work.

It is a sobering reminder to those of us with no loved ones in the military of the tremendous sacrifice that those serving and their families make for the sake of our freedom. To them I say "thank you" so very much for protecting us and our children. To the families left at home - please know we are praying for you and your soldiers for their safe return home. God bless you all and God Bless our great country - it is only so great because we have people like you fighting for it!! THANK YOU!!! |

Dear Tony Diana
God has given you a wonderful voice I praise him for that.
I receive on average twelve letters and E Mails a day from families of
servicemen and women from around the world, and from service
personnel.
A big part of my life is praying for each and everyone of these
people, I am in my seventies now,seen wars come and go, each has
causalities and casualties bring tears to unseen families for years to
come. Please let people know I am here for them.
The poem I have written is for every serviceman or woman who has a
Mandy or a son in their lives back home.
God Bless you and every serviceman and women where ever they
may be called to serve.
Elizabeth
To My Soldier Daddy
I know you are risking your life for me.
So I may grow in a world that's free.
But Daddy we really do miss you so
Mummy and I cried when we saw you go.
Daddy I had a good report from school,
I know that you will laugh at that
You always said that I played the fool
All I did at school was chat
We love you so, and we miss you so
But Daddy we understand why you had to go
Please Jesus could you end this war
So my Daddy could come home once more
Thank you Jesus
Love Mandy and Mummy

| Thank you for sharing your message. A student asked me to tune in as part of his homework and I was touched. Three of my uncles were in WW2 My first husband was in VietNam and did not receive support on his return from either the military or even from friends. He has become a lost part of the system as he could not ever get himself together. Thank you for the reminder |

| I just listened and watched "picture of you". I was referred to your site by a radio station here in my hometown of Baltimore, Md. The station is 106.5 and JO JO and Kenny talked about this song and your site so much I had to visit it having a nephew over in Iraq. You put together a great slide show to go along with your song. I can't thank you enough for thinking of the family members that are left behind while their loved ones fight for our country. Once again, thank you |

| Tony: I just want to say that I have a brother in the army and at any time he could be called up for war. After listening to your song "picture of you" really hit my heart and gave me some sense of comfort. You are a true hero in your own way and I would love to be one of the first to buy your cd. People dont know why we are at war but the truth is for our future, our kids and their kids. I love this land and I would be the first one to go if called upon. Its not just for me but for the freedom of what this country stands for. Keep up the great work and I will be looking at your web site to see more of the best songs I heard of in a while. |

Thanks for sharing this with me. As former military, you know first hand how important it is to soldiers to know their nation's people are supporting them. I read some of the great comments people posted also.
Please continue to keep our military in your prayers and in your songs.

What a wonderful, inspiring song. I have played it for everyone in my school where I work. I also heard the song on 106.5 in Baltimore. I had to see the slide show that went with it. It was well worth it. You have touched us all.

| Tony, this is a great website and you have written a wonderful song. I will be sure to forward it on to all of my e-mail buddies. I am an ex-army wife and I know the pain of not being with your family. My husband served in the 214th Mountain Division, C-CO out of Fort Drum, NY. He was sent to Somalia for a peace keeping mission and also to Haiti. To all of our Men and Women currently serving around the world, I wish you GOD'S blessings and a safe return home. As for you, Tony, please let me know when the CD will be finished, as I plan on purchasing one. Thank you for such a wonderful gesture to active in the military and all of us civilians back home waiting and praying for them to come home. |

Hello...Tony.....
I heard this song also....on 106.5----Picture of You.....and I enjoyed it immensely and loved it very much.....I understand how difficult it can be for a military person when they are fighting for our freedom and all they have is a picture to bring back the memories of family and friends . But , the song is fantastic , can't wait till the whole CD is finished . I love music , especially when it comes from the heart and is very inspirational . Keep up the good work and God Bless you and your family! Thank you again Tony... |

Tony,
I just wanted to leave you a short message about your song "Picture of You". It was a wonderful song, and not only does it inspire those who have families in the military, but those of us who have lost loved ones and all they have left of them are pictures and memories. This song works both for the military and the civilians alike.
Keep up the good work, and I will be looking for the CD when it is finished. |

I just have to tell you how much I appreciate your song and video "Picture
of You" . I heard the DJ's, Jo Jo and Kenny on Mix 106.5 talking about
your song and video; they played your song and gave the website to see the
video.
I have a 20 year old son, Josh, who is in the Marine Reserve's. He has
been active for 19 months and went to Iraq on two tours; he is now in
Kuwait preparing to come "home". Home in the USA and home with his two
brothers, father and me. We can not wait for his return.
It's nice to see most of our country thinking and praying for of our
service men and women. Thank you for you wonderful video. And yes, I
cried through the entire video.
Sincerely,

| MIX 106.5 aired your song in Baltimore, MD and directed me to your site. I have a man I care about in Iraq. I really liked your song and video and want to order the CD when it is available. I was curious where the photo of you was taken. The transparent green water reminds me of a beach in North Carolina, but I assumed it was Florida. It's beautiful.

I just wanted to let you know that I got your link from our radio station this morning, Mix106.5 in Baltimore. I guess that you would have to know that since they probably need your permission to play the song?? I immediately went to your web site to see the slide show for my self. This was such a wonderful song and slide show. It brought tears to my eyes. I have forwarded your link to every person in my email book. Good luck and many blessings with your career.

| Thank you so much Tony for the inspirational song and lyrics. I am currently deployed in support of OIF II and I do see the great things you and so many others are doing for the troops. Keep up the good work and may god bless you for all that you do. The folks here with the 286th MP Det (CID), FOB Danger, Tikrit, Iraq, send their love and are all doing fine. We are looking forward to being back with family in the near future and wish those relieving us all the prayers as they are preparing to deploy. Thank you again for the great song and for your selfless service for those still serving. |

Hello Tony,
I enjoyed viewing your inspirational tribute. Many persons in this country need reminding that this war is not an abstraction that is over there and is not a concern. Your tribute allows people to see the real troops as they work, rest, or play. I have placed a link to your site on my homepage at http://www.GlobalSpecOps.com/ I hope that you have a great success with your song and CD.
Best regards,

| Thank you so much for the song picture of you! My husband is in the air force and was overseas for 7 months (he was lucky it wasnt longer). He sent home tons of pictures and there were pictures of me all over his bunk. Your song definitely touched a part of me. It brought tears to my eyes(and not much does anymore). I missed my husband dearly while he was gone and pray everyday that if he has to go back that he is safe. It is wonderful to know that people are trying to get the message out there of what our troops do and how much they miss their families. Thank you so much. |

| Tony, I am so glad you saw my name on a support the troops site and sent me this link. I listened to the song four times with tears streaming down my face. You have captured the heart and soul of every soldier and their families. My 33 year old son (married with two boys 12 & 2) just recently enlisted in the Army. Right now he is on delayed entry. He will probably be leaving for basic in the next four months. He is going in for infantry. So your song had even more meaning to me. thank you for this wonderful musical picture. I look forward to the rest of your CD. Any support I can give you please let me know. I am a small business owner (photography) and I will use it in any way I can help. Thanks again and God bless you as well as all of our troops (no matter where they are stationed. Please let me know when the CD is done. Keep up the good work. |

| Thanks Tony for your wonderful song, honoring our brave troops who serve our country both near and far. Both of my brothers served during the vietnam war, one was a paratrooper, the other a paratrooper and in special Forces. We were so proud of both of them but the country was in a different place and time, and many people did not support the troops during this unpopular war. (what war is ever popular?) that is why we are so glad to see people voice their support for our troops regardless of their feelings about the war in Iraq. We admire you and your generous families, and our family wants to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for laying your life on the line everyday! God Bless you all, and bring you home safe to your loving families and friends! |

| Thank you Tony for your beautifully thought out song. The pictures and the lyrics provide the living truth of pain and anxiety shared by our deployed military personnel and their families they leave behind. I am the mother of two soldiers, one in the Marines and the other in the Army. The Marine has gone to Iraq and is back. The Soldier is about to leave to Iraq. There is such a feeling of helplessness to help your son(s), You wish you could trade places with them or provide a shield of protection so they come home safely. Only my faith in God, support from friends, organizations, and people like you make each day bearable. With tears in my eyes and a knot in my throat, I say God bless you Tony and good luck with your CD. Sincerely, Natalia Pedigo |

| Tony you are amazing. There is no way one could ever imagine what it is like to do & see what you & our military sees on a daily basis. There is no words thanking you and our military for all they do. Your song comes close. Its great how you put it out there on what an impact just the little things mean to someone so far from home. There is not 1 day that goes by that I do not fly my flag & pray for our military. If it weren't for guys like you we(civilians) would not be able to lay back & enjoy the lives you have given us. I mean you guys are willing to lay your lives on the line for people you dont know and I Thank You from the bottom of my heart! Keep up the good work your work is appreciated! |

I just wanted to say thank you for the song Picture of You. I have a few friends that had to leave their families to go over seas. I have been lucky so far because my B/F hasn't left yet but we know the time is coming soon so the songs means alot to me. Everytime I listen to the song and see the video I start crying right away. Could you please let me know when the cd is ready to buy. I would love to get it. |

Hello, I am a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Retired since 1966. I have viewed your site and think that it really great. The song Picture of you was terrific and should become a great hit. Though I am retired, I still feel that I am Marine and will probably always feel it in my blood. My day had gone and I put my trust in todays military men and women, they have made us all proud. Hope many of them will have a chance to view your site and listen to your beautiful song.

 Hello Tony , My sons battle buddies mom sent me your web-site last night, and after listening to your song . I can only say one thing. THANK YOU. My son left for Iraq back in Feb. Before he left. He invited me to come into his barracks at Ft. Drum, N.Y. , just to see where he lives. I seen his helmet hanging on the bunk. And asked him if that was the helmet that he was taking with him? He said yes why? I asked him if he had any glue? He wanted to know why? I told him there was something I wanted to do. He went and got me some glue from another soldier. I took the glue and took a picture of his son (age 2 now) out of my wallet and started to glue it to his helmet. My son asked me what I was doing. I told him that while he was gone, his son would always be looking over him. That was 9 months ago. So far its been working. God, Tony . I can't even begin to explain to you and other people what its like to be involved in this war the way me and my family are. Thank You for the song and PLEASE keep writing more like them. The soldiers and us families need them badly. Thank You Roy Pechtel - P.S. enclosed is a picture of my son |

I would like to say job well done soldier. Your song is very touching, and I am sure it will touch many as it has mine.
I am a proud mother of 3 children who are serving in the Military. My oldest son and my daughter are both Chaplin Assistants in the Army, and both have served in Iraq. My daughter was there last year, my son will soon be returning back to Iraq after a short R & R. They also have a cousin whom is an Army engineer.
I was recently advised that my youngest son will be heading to Iraq in the spring, he is with a combat support squadron with the Navy. His M.O.S. was originally a rescue swimmer, but he is training to operate the large gun aboard the helicopter. It worries me that he will be at such a high risk area, but someone has to do it. He will be in God's protecting hands.
I get upset when the people say such negative things about the war. War is sometimes a necessary means to stop such evil. I think that more soldiers should have the opportunity to speak their feelings openly. My daughter saw the need for the war when she was there.
The loss of the lives of our soldiers has never been easy to stomach but they have granted us & many more their right to freedom.
I am looking forward to hearing more of your work.
Good luck & God Bless. |

Tony,
A great friend sent me your website, thank you and my good friend! I was ten years old when I stood at the burial of my brother Jim, (Viet-Nam 6-11-68). I am the father of two wonderful boys, a 13 yr old and a 7 week old. I thank god that I am able to hold them at every opportunity. Thank you to all the soldiers that represent our country and allow me to to embrace my children. Great song! |

Hi Tony, I just want to say thank you for the movie. I loved it. My cousin is in the Air Force and I think about what the Army and everyone else is doing for us all the time. This was just another reminder of how thankful I really am to have them working so hard for America. God Bless You!!

Tony,
At times I feel very sad and miss my sons. I listened to your song and It makes me feel proud of both my sons and that they are in the army. the 1st is in Iraq, the 2nd will be there in sept 04. I have a 3rd son that has thought about it now he just graduated from high school less than a month ago. I would love to have a cd to play in my car while my thoughts are running wild. I do believe I am one of the proudest mothers there ever was.

Hi Tony, thank you for your nice e-mail. Here you can read why I do what i do: I am an Angel form oversea, from Germany. You ask you now why a German did this! I will tell you: Since the WWWII the Americans has done so much good things for the German`s.
I remember me that my grandmother told me so often that our family was so glad that after the WWWII that we have received care packages from Americans, too. Our great luck was that we had been born in West Germany. The Americans have brought us freedom and they have helped us to build up our country again. They have protected our life in the time as it was necessary. Over the years between our both countries we have done bonds of friendships. Why I am not to return something if a friend needs me. It is not important if I was for or against the Iraq war - it is important that I see that something is to do - and that I do it! So I am glad that I have with the Soldiers Angels the opportunity to support our American friends and soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and the wounded soldiers in the US Hospital Landstuhl. They all have given so much for other people freedom. A great thank you to the Soldiers Angels Foundation and all my German and American friends who give me the great opportunity to do this. Willie |

| Tony, beautiful song! I'm waiting to get an e-mail from my son to let me know he is alright. 4 Marines got killed today and I'm worrying for my son like all mothers do for their sons or daughters. I played your song over and over and cried and cried but watching the video helps me think about how free we are and we should be proud of what our men and women are doing for us overseas. Thank-you for the beautiful song it's a hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Thought your website is awesome. It was a message from heaven when you emailed me. As I had mentioned, I have forwarded your site to every one. "Picture of You" brought out so many feelings. It was done with the love and the pride of a soldier. Thank you for supporting our soldiers. I would love to know when your CD comes out but I am definately very impressed in you and what you are doing for our troops. Just way too cool!!

Picture of you is a beautiful song! My boyfriend, Aaron is serving a tour of duty in iraq as we speak. When I got your email, at first it kind of freaked me out, cause i didn't know who you were. But i checked the site out anyway, and i was so glad I did! So many of the pictures that showed during the song hit home to me. God Bless you for anything you do to support our troops, believe me, they appreciate it. Good luck in all you do. Aaron and I will be here listening for your name on the radio!

Dear Mr. Diana,
Thank you from my heart for sending the link to your site where our family could hear your song "Picture of You" and watch the video of photos. It means more than we can say.
My brother Josh is joining the Army on July 12th, four days before his eighteenth birthday. We are so very, exceedingly proud of him; he will be an Infantryman in the 101st Airborne which has been his dream for years. But we'll miss him terribly. And make sure to send him off with a few photos!
Thank you again, and we will be adding a link to your site on both of ours (www.proclaimliberty.us and www.wildlightgallery.com).
For God and Country,
Sarah Peterson

God bless America, and may He go with all who serve her and defend freedom!

| First of all let me start by saying "GOD BLESS YOU". After hearing your song I couldnt help but think about what had happened to me here the other day and the bad news I have gotten. Not going too deep into it but getting straight to the point. There was a soldier that decided that he wanted to go on this convoy to take the place of my husband so my husband can get some rest and so he can start to feel better (cause he was ill). Which was a nice thing that he did. Then later that day my husband was informed that he had died on this convoy to deliver food and water to other soldiers (they went over a land-mine). I'm truely blessed that my husband is still here with us, but at the same time my heart goes out to this soldier's family. Remember that not only are they there protecting our freedom here back at home but their own as well. |

Tony,
My brother Sgt Donald B Sutton who is now stationed in Korea came home in August from Iraq, he fowarded this to me and I would like to say it touched my heart, right now my son in law is there and hopefully will return to my daughter in Germany in the upcoming weeks, God bless each and everyone one of you, you all have been and will continue to remain in my prayers. At home, we do not understand what goes on from day to day, however, a picture of our loved ones are carried each day as well. " A picture of you " as we stand on the streets supporting our troops, you make a difference in all of our lives, when my brother left for Iraq we pinned the yellow flags upon our shirts, when he came home, he asked we continue to wear the ribbons until the last soldier returned, I continue to do so. God Speed to each and everyone of you. Stay Safe.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. You have a written an awesome song and the pictures are perfect. As the mother of a son that served in Iraq with the National Guard of S.C. until this past December, I really appreciate your efforts! I also teach at an elementary school that serves Marine Corps and Navy dependent children. This will inspire our parents so much.
Thank you again!

Thank you very much for sending this email to me. I plan on forwarding it to all of my friends and family. My father was in the United States Air Force for 20 years and has been retired for 30 years. After traveling around with him from base to base I have a feel for what the military personnel go through. My dad never saw combat but was away from us for two different TDYs a year at a time. I hope all of our brave people come home soon after finishing the great job that they are doing over there. I pray for all of our troops everyday. Thanks again for including me.

HI My name is Candace Thompson and i received an e-mail from you regarding your video. I reviewed it and I really enjoyed it. I am a proud wife of a Soldier, PFC Christopher Thompson, who is currently serving in Iraq. And just a few weeks ago after he returned from a convoy we were talking on line, and he told me that he always carried two pictures of me with him at all times one in his helmet and one in the pocket on the left side of his chest. So the song meant a lot to me. Thank you for sharing it with me and good luck to you in your singing career. The song was completely beautiful.
Thanks and Always,

HI Tony.
Thank you for finding my e-mail and sending me your link. I am a proud mother of a young US Marine serving in Iraq, it always warms my heart when a tribute is made to them for their many sacrafices that they are making every day. We all pray for their safe return, it is a burden we family members carry from moment to moment, praying for them and wishing we could be there and wrap our arms around them with love.
Thank you again Tony for caring enough to create this website and record such a beautiful song for them. I will be passing your e-mail around to the many marine parents in my circle.

We have some friends that are there and friends that are leaving in just a short time. Thank you for your support. |

Tony,
I absolutely adore that video! I think that you did a wonderful job!!!
I wish people could understand how it feels to let your spouse, son, father....go to war! Its a dreadful feeling. I have often compared it to loss. And it never gets easier/harder. Its always the same feeling of emptiness. But, its videos such as this one that make you smile and say, "We/I made it through yet another one. We can handle it when it arises again."
Thanks for emailing and when payday hits on the 1st again, we'll purchase it.
Sincerely,

 Dear Sir, I am so impressed with your song dedicated to our brave soldiers. My baby daughter is over there in Iraq with her new husband in a different camp, also in Iraq. When I found the link to your site I was so moved that I listened to it a dozen times. How can I buy a copy to send to my daughter and husband? I looked everywhere and it is not in any stores around here or on the net. I don't know anything about downloading music. I hope you find it in your heart to continue writing such moving music. It seems so many folks have forgotten about what our soldiers are going through. There still a war going on over there and soldiers dying almost every day. Let's make America hear your song, loud and clear. Let's make it number one. How can I help?
Thank you and God Bless. (CD of Picture of You" mailed out to Jeannie)

 Dear Mr. Diana
One of the photo's you used is of my daughter, Stephanie. The picture shows 2 girls napping against a hum-v with a picture in a cap. The dark haired girl is my first born. That was taken a day before war was declared. I can't find the words to tell you how proud we are of her.
What a tribute to find her picture associated with such a beautiful song. Thank you so much for including her in this video.
The best of luck to you!!!

Tony,
Thank you so much for sending the invite to your site. The song is wonderful and the pictures are so very moving. Our soldiers everywhere need our support and prayers. We can't begin to thank them enough for keeping us free at home.
Thanks again for all you do.

 Dear Mr. Diana,
I have (tried to) listened to your song "Picture of You" online and I
want to thank you. I haven't been able to hear the song in it's entirety
due to the antiquated computer I own. I have heard enough to know that
it is a song that tugs at my heartstrings.
See, my son is in the Army and currently in Iraq, he is 22 yo and
expecting his 1st child. His wife who is 21 yo also in the Army would be
in Iraq too, except for the fact that she is pregnant. Mr. Diana, they
are but children themselves...your song would mean so much to them. Is
there anyway to get a copy of it for my 2 young soldiiers? Their names
are SGT. Benjamin Day and SPC. Amy Day. This would mean so much to them
(and to me).
I don't know if you are now or if ever you were attached to the US
Military...that doesn't matter. Fact is, you are supporting them and I
certainly want to extend my appreciation to you for that.
Thank you again.
May God Bless You. (2 CD's mailed out to SGT Day and SPC Day c/o Joy)

 Hi Tony,
Thank you for such a beautiful song and for your dedication to the men and women serving in our armed forces. My son, Spc. Andrew G. Sooter is currently stationed in Baghdad. My nephew, Sgt. Taylor Day is also in Iraq. My cousin's son and my younger son's best friend, both Marines are in Iraq also. Every day we watch the news or read the papers and any mention of a casualty or injury sends us into a meltdown - fearful that the next knock on the door is going to be a Military officer to tell us it was one of ours. It is the songs, poems, and stories like yours that keep us going - knowing that there are people out there who know what we're going through - what we're feeling. God Bless You, Tony. (Sunnie's son Andrew is the one all the way to the right) |

Iraq. I can relate to "Picture of You" as he keeps a picture of us together
in his hat. Please keep me posted on the CD release date. Thanks so much.

Tony -- thought you might appreciate some sincere praise from someone who is absolutely opposed to our presence in Iraq -- yet absolutely supportive of our brave warfighters. Most, if not all of what is good coming out of this unnecessary conflict is created by the actions of our men and women in uniform. At on and the same time you've covered the full range of courage, fear, determination, certainty, and uncertainty on the part of that wide spectrum of men and women who make up the greatest peace-keeping force in history. I am so gratified at the difference between reactions now and those aimed at our returning Vietnam veterans -- who were scapegoats for a set of failed policies. It may be obvious that I'm an old duffer who followed the exploits of our heros in World War II, did my military time during the Korean Police Action, and agonized over our mishandling of the Vietnam debacle. I'm also in the rare position of being engaged to a woman who served seven years at the Pentagon as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. I call her The General (due to her 3-star protocal rank), and know that she, too, supports both our troops . . . and independent music. Go for it!
For what it's worth, even as I oppose our presence in Iraq, I know that we can't just pull out. That's why "pictures of you" are so critical to morale and the vital sense of purpose that helps keep our warfighters balanced, objective, and effective. |

Tony, I am grateful that I saw your site on Marine Moms Online. My Marine has been in Iraq since March and I'm really missing him today. He is constantly on my mind and I know that he has enjoyed the pictures that we have sent from home. Today, our neighborhood says goodbye to another young man that I have known since the day he was born. Recruit Camren leaves for Marine boot camp today. Today is the day that he follows my son and steps up to be a Man!
Thank you so much.

Thanks for being a vocal point for our troops. As an old SF guy, I know first hand what support back home (or lack thereof) means to the military personnel in the field.
I am sending this link to all my buddies. I'm sure they'll like it also.

It was wonderful and touched my heart. I cried throughout the video. Since I have 2 daughters in the Navy. My older daughter just got back from Bahrain and the younger one just got deployed on her ship to help with the effort. I would like to purchase a copy for my family. I will forward your email to friend who has a daughter in the Navy, also. I know it will touch her heart too. You hit the nail right on the target.
Thank you and God Bless You,

Dear Tony,
I first heard this song last year while my son, a United States Marine, was deployed in Iraq. I thought it was so beautiful that I printed off the words, added pictures of my grandchildren and framed it for him.
Tom will be re-deploying to Iraq in August. I will make sure that he has plenty of family photos with him. I may even make a copy of the framing and send that to him. That way, he can fold it to keep in his helmet
Thank you so much for such a beautiful song. The video is great!

I have 2 nephews who went to Iraq, both in the Navy. Adam was on the Theodore Roosevelt and TW was on the Abraham Lincoln. May God protect all military personnel who are in harm's way. USA patriots come in all shapes and colors as well as political standing. Best of luck in the release of your CD and writing more 'moments in time' music. |

Thank you, Tony. Two of my sons have recently returned safely from Iraq; my nephew is there now. All of them are U.S. Army. Thanks for helping us remember that our people are still serving, even though the first emotional rush of "let's do something for the troops" is over. There are a lot of tired, lonely, frightened people, doing a nearly impossible job and doing it the very best they can, who need our support. Bless them and bless you, Tony.

I am so sick of the liberal media and Democrats trying to politicize what our guys are fighting and dying for. I cant wait to show it to Nikki when she gets home from school today. She will love seeing her picture in the video. If I have done anything right as a parent its instilling a love and appreciation for the United States of America and those men and women who serve and sacrifice to protect this great country. She is a real patriotic kid. To all the men and women in the armed forces and their families I pray for you daily. Thank you for the incredible work you do and the sacrifices you are making. May God bless you and protect you. Tony, good luck with the rest of the CD. Look forward to its release. |

Tony, your poetic message sent on notes of inspiration gave us a personal connection to our military and their loved ones. While we do not have a relative serving, we feel that all the men and women risking their lives, making sacrifices for us and the country we call home are our brothers and sisters, as well as, fellow Americans.
Men and women of the Armed Forces, you have our undying support and know that you as our representatives are doing what is right and just. We believe your job is important to the stability of the whole world and do not expect you to risk your lives a day longer than is necessary but until the job is done. God Protect You.

Your song is great. I'm prior AF and my husband is retired AF. It really hits home. Now, my 18 year old daughter is following in her parent's footsteps and will be joining the AF in the Fall of this year.

My eyes teared up as I listened to your song and watched the pictures as they went by. What a wonderful song and I'm so lucky I was able to see this. Thank you so much! God bless you!

| Dear Tony Thank you for the CD! The music really touched me because every thing you wrote/sang is so very true. I really do have a picture in my helmet and I do reread letters from those I love. It brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been away from my family now for over a year and it does get tough. Do you perform someplace in FLA? I should be visiting my grandmother shortly after I get home so if you are performing somewhere I'd love to go see you. You may have sent this CD out randomly but you really touched my heart and I would like to thank you in person for your support. Sincerely Helen |

| Hello Everyone; 1st off allow us to thank Tony for this beautiful thing he has done w/his internet site by sending all of this on to the soldiers. THANK YOU from a Mom of a service member serving in Afghanistan. Now to all of those serving in a foriegn land, including those civilians that are working away from home too. All of you are there because you believe in what you are doing. All of us left behind believe in you. You have read many THANK YOU'S & PRAISES OF PROUDNESS, but none of that seems to be enough during the Holidays being away from those you LOVE. But know this: All of us who love you respect each & everyone & we do appreciate what you stand for & what you are trying to accomplish. This Nation will never forgat OUR TROOPS again they way they did after the VietNam War. I was a child during that War now I have a child serving during this War. I can only repeat what many have said before me. WE Appriciate-Love-Respect-&-Pray-for each of you daily, civilian & military alike. I never had a HERO in my life. I never admired any one growing up but that has changed,now that I am growing older my Hero & the one I admire the most is my Daughter Spc. Danielle Eaker serving wit! h the 452nd CSH in Afghanistan. Her generation has shown me that this country is not in trouble, the youth of this country are willing as the generations before them. We give you all the credit & pass the torch (so to speak) to very capable hands. We want to WISH all of You a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR. For those of you who do not celebrate the holidays we Wish You Peace & Happiness during this time of Year. WITH ALL OUR LOVE & RESPECT.Mr.& Mrs. Daniel Eaker Please feel free to corespond & we will do the same. |

| Wow Tony, What a wonderful web site. I listened to the CD that you gave me. It really brought back memories for me. I served in the United States Navy from 1989 to 1995. The song made me feel good. Thank you. Currently, my best friend, Terry Sanford, is serving over in Afghanistan. I will email your web site URL to him so he can listen to the song and read the guest book. You have created something very nice Tony. Good job. See you in class. Domo Arigato Gozaimashita |

| Thanks Tony Diana for giving us the chance to thank our Guy's and Girl's whoever or wherever they are in conflict. As a former Brit Serviceman (Army) who has seen conflict and death I understand what you are going through. I know that 'Thank You' means a lot to you, but it is not enough, there is no way to thank you gut's enough for what you are doing and are prepared to do for us 'civies' to conserve peace and freedom for all of us. Not a day will pass when ex servicemen and women will not be thinking of you all, and of your safety. Be PROUD of what you have done and what you will do for us all and may God patrol with you at all times, keep him close to your heart and come home soon. I salute you all and say THANK YOU ALL Eddy Taylor |

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Please pay no heed to the anti-war venom being spread by a minority of the mis-guided.
My Older, Younger Brother and I were accosted by the same nonsense when we returned home during the Vietnam War.
It seems some things never change, some folks never learn, some folks are all to willing to prostitute their ethics and morality for the sake of political correctness, partisan politics, bias and envy.
As has proven out, the peace-protesters of the 60's were manipulated by communism, much as the present day protesters are being manipulated by the same evil though with different names.
The protesters of the past have admitted their failures as will (with time) the present protesters .
Those of us Vietnam Era Vets are proud to have fought against communism (the biggest mass-murdering form of goverment) as you are and will be proud to say you fought the evils of dictatorship and terrorism.
My Family has proudly fought in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Afghanistan and now Iraq, o | | | |
Tony,
Tony, great website you have and our sincere thanks for writing a song for our military...you have a great talent and wishing you continued success in everything you do!
