He went to college at Alabama University majored in biology. He then went on to teach seventh and eighth grade biology. After this he began to pursue the musical career.

11. Have you forgotten? Back Literary “We wrote this song and put it on the album because we wanted the troops to know we hadn't forgotten them, that we still think about them and pray for them.“ – Darryl Worley He adds this phrase in the song multiple times. I think that he does this because he wants to make a point. That we still appreciate and support them. He just doesn’t want us to forget about them. They are a big part of what we have today.

13. Bin Laden BackHistorical We aren’t very sure how he died, but there are stories of him being either killed by a US bomb in Afghanistan during the battle for Tora Bora or he just died of kidney disease. Till this day they are still unsure, but the only thing they do know for sure is that he had been dead for eight years. For years he was the most famous fugitive. You couldn’t turn on the news with out hearing his name. We wouldn’t stop looking for him until we found him. ("Is Osama Bin Laden").

14. 9/11 Back Historical September 11 th was by far the most deadliest attack on Americans. There were four hijacked planes; two in New York, one in Washington D.C., and one in Pennsylvania.

16. I've been there with the soldiers BackLiterary He spent time with the soldiers over seas, this encouraged him to get a totally different perspective on what life is like over there.

17. Pennsylvania field BackHistorical This is the memorial site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Everyone in this small town wanted to recognize all of the fallen heroes that went down with the plane that day. They wanted to make sure that no good deed went unnoticed. There are also people who rotate keeping watch at this site, they also answer any questions people have because they want everyone to know the correct facts. (Powell).Shanksville, Pennsylvania

18. If it was up to me I'd show it everyday Darryl says this because he doesn’t want anyone to forget how much the troops really do for us. Because he took a trip over seas he has a different perspective on everything about the troops. He just wants to make sure that no one forgets all of the fallen soldiers and those heroes that went down. If he could he would remind people everyday so that people don’t just take them for granted.

19. What about our freedom, and this piece of ground? Darryl says this because he is trying to get across that we are very selfish and take many things for granted. This piece of ground is talking about the United States and how we need to keep protecting it no matter what cause it is our country and our freedom. No one should be able to take that away from us.
