LUCAS HOGE TEAMS WITH BOWTECH ARCHERY TO HONOR OUR MILITARY


Hoge's "Medal Of Honor" is the title track of BOWTECH music compilation & official theme song of Wrangler National Patriot


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 12, 2013) -- Nashville singer/songwriter, performer and country recording artist Lucas Hoge has accepted the welcomed invitation to feature his personal composition and recording, entitled “Medal Of Honor,” as the official introduction to the CD compilation MEDAL OF HONOR, presented by BOWTECH Archery, for the benefit of our American brothers and sisters of service.

The nine-song collection (featuring song titles such as “Amazing Grace,” “Amen” “Brave Men” and “Land That I Love”) highlights Hoge’s recording as an appropriate title track and a proper musical dedication to our military. A gesture in kind, Hoge’s contribution to the project is in keeping with his devotion and dedication to recognize our military and their sacrifices.

A heartfelt tribute to the men and women on the front lines, the cooks and medics, and those family members who wait at home with hope for the safe return of loved ones, the inspiration behind the song came after Hoge’s visit to Iraq, Kuwait and Kosovo in 2009. With the help of his friend and co-writer, Corey Barker, the song has given Hoge a voice to say “Thank You.”


To all those on the front lines
Never give up faith
Know somebody's prayin' for you each and everyday
To those who serve the meals
To those who patch their wounds
To those who wait at home for them with everything to lose
This song, is for you

You can't wear it on your chest
But you can feel it in your heart
And I hope it brings you comfort
When this world grows dark
Let it echo thru the madness
Let the message pull you through
This is our Medal Of Honor, to you

“I was honored when I was asked to be a part of the BOWTECH project,” said Hoge. “This seems so slight in comparison to the gift our military extends to us each and every day; I will continue to support our troops any way I can.”

BOWTECH manufactures and distributes the world’s finest compound bows and archery equipment across the globe. A company closely tied to supporting our troops, BOWTECH has established an Overseas and Stateside Program that enables all enlisted and/or retired military to purchase bows at discounted prices. As an expression of gratitude for his and her service, the patriotic album, 
MEDAL OF HONOR, will be included with every bow purchase as a special FREE gift.

“We wanted to organize a formal dedication to our brothers and sisters of service because it seems our troops have almost been forgotten. (They are in our hearts every day.) When we met Lucas two years ago, we instantly loved him, his passion for our military, and his music,” said Michelle Dawson, BOWTECH Archery Marketing Coordinator. “We knew instantly, at first listen, that we needed to name the compilation MEDAL OF HONOR; it is so very fitting.”

Hoge’s “Medal Of Honor” is also the official theme song of Wrangler National Patriot and available for download via www.WranglerNationalPatriot.com. (Proceeds are gifted to our military.) The track has additionally been featured on a variety independent military compilation CD’s including MUSIC FOR TROOPS and NEVER FORGOTTEN. Hoge is scheduled to return overseas on his third Wrangler National Patriot tour this summer.
