Producing the project is composer and lyricist duo, Daniel and Laura Curtis. Daniel Curtis said 'The song is really coming together beautifully and we cannot wait for everyone to hear the finished product. We have at this point had 29 artists take the time out of their busy schedules to join us in paying tribute to all those who have served in the military and raise much needed funds for Help For Heroes. There will one more recording session in London in July and a few other on location recording sessions before the song is completed later this year. Please do support this incredible cause if you can.'
