“On behalf of myself, Steve Thomas, and Mark Brinkman,
I can say we are all truly honored that the American Security Council
Foundation will use this as their signature song to help raise awareness
to their wonderful cause,” said Mark Newton.
Brinkman shared his thoughts on writing “Great American Heroes”
saying, “As my son, Zac, was joining the USAF I began thinking about
‘heroes’ and the moral fabric of our nation today. I wanted to write a
song to make a statement and honor the ‘real’ heroes in our lives. The
dad that works double shifts so that his kids might go to college and
have a better life than he did….the mom that keeps the family together,
sacrifices personal gain for the benefits of her children…the teacher
that can shape the life of a child and inspire them on to a lifetime of
learning and contribution to society…and the men and women who put their
lives on the line every day for our freedom. These are the ‘real’
heroes that we need to be lifting up! I hope the song helps to redefine
the word ‘hero’ and focus on the people with hero qualities – sacrifice,
selfless, caring, courage, giving, love, fearless, etc.”
Newton & Thomas will perform “Great American Heroes” during the upcoming American Security Council Foundation (ASCF) benefit concert featuring The Band Perry, along with JT Hodges.
This highly anticipated event will take place Saturday, December 6,
2014 at the Historic Dodgertown Holman Stadium in Vero Beach, Fla. The
festival gates will open at 3:00 PM with various activities and
exhibits. The festival will raise funds for The US NAVY UDT/SEAL Trident
House and the ASCF Scholarship Fund that provides scholarships to the
children of Active Duty Military, Veterans, Law Enforcement and First
Responders,” said ASCF Director of Operations Gary James.
