Americans celebrate July 4 with Afghan twist
The Army’s 82nd Airborne Division band played music based on the military role in U.S. history, starting with The Battle Cry of the Republic, the rallying call of union soldiers during the civil war, and ending with American Soldier, the hit country song by Toby Keith, composed in 2004 after the invasion of Iraq.
The title of the song is The Battle HYMN of the Republic.

I hope that this press release is sufficent to now categorize us as a human interest piece. Any coverage will be appreciated.
