Good song for a good cause by a good man. HTK is a true American in my eyes. Thanks to those who've served, it's truly appreciated.

I designed this for Aaron Watson and the Boot Campaign. Here’s a little bit about the project in Aaron’s own words.

My new single, “Raise Your Bottle,” was inspired by not only my Dad, but by all Veterans, both past, present, and future. This is a special song to me because it is something that is bigger than myself, and even bigger than country music. This song has a higher purpose than just achieving some ranking on a chart; it will be a workhorse for our heroes raising both awareness and money. Every penny that this song generates will go directly towards our wounded heroes and their families; families just like mine. I may have written this song, but this song truly belongs to the men and women who inspired it, who wrote it with their actions of bravery, courage, and sacrifice. “Raise Your Bottle” is my way of saying thanks for FREEDOM!

I did not serve but this is a picture of my arm and the tattoo on it. I wear it simply because of what it says, "You Are Not Forgotten". Few people know I have the tattoo, (well more now). It's there to remind me every morning, and I will not forget. ..

You know, Mr. Watson is a member here on the GS. Curious what his two cents are.

Man, sorry to hear u went thru that over wearing a shirt we made to say thanks to our heroes. My dad is 100% disabled from injuries while serving in Vietnam. He wears his patriotism every day on his baseball hats and shirts and from time to time he will still have some idiot put him down for serving his country. I once witnessed a guy cuss Dad when he saw Dad's 1st Calvary hat. i was probably 9 or 10 and i wanted to punch the guy in the face but Dad blew me away when he calmly responded to the man and said. "Well Sir you are entitled to your opinion but its a fact that men have fought and died so that you can have a freedom such as that".

11cBowhunter I completely agree but this song is not a drinking song. Raise Your Bottle is way of making a toast...that bottle could be apple juice for all I care. The song is full of hope and appreciation. It talks about how "amazing Grace" turned his life around. Every penny from this tune till the day i die benefits the boot campaign which supports our DV's and their families. To all of you who have served or are still serving. THANK YOU.
