There are no plans for the heartfelt song to appear on any recorded bodies of work and at this time was heard here on her official website www.jodeemessina.com.

As I continue to watch the war coverage, my heart breaks for all of the family members who have lost loved ones. The day they announced the death of NBC reporter David Bloom I was compelled to finish the song." Jo Dee thanks all those who sent in heartfelt letters and emails regarding her tribute.
