serving overseas and those waiting at home for their return – a reality
for millions of Americans during the holiday season and beyond. A
portion of the sales of “Before The Tree Comes Down” is being donated to
support the work of “Stars For Stripes,” a non-profit organization

Lisa is
particularly hopeful the release will gain major connectivity with
listeners as a thoughtful reminder of the thousands of military men and
woman deployed overseas and the waiting families who must cope with
their loved one’s absence.
“I have a
tremendous respect for our military and value the meaning of family,”
she noted in a recent interview. “Releasing ‘Before The Tree Comes Down’
is my own personal audio greeting card to our troops and their
families. This is my way of honoring them and letting them know they
are not forgotten and my hope is that this song brings to light the
sacrifices our brave service men and women and their families endure
every day.”
