Listen to and reflect upon the haunting but simple melody that stirs a passion for life and optimism in the future. Allow yourself to be reminded of the many sacrifices our forefathers made to make this such a wonderful place to live and visit.

     "It is with a great sense of pride and a thankful heart that we both offer up this anthem as a labor of love for the enjoyment of all those who call Florida home, or have a love for this great state no matter where they find themselves on God's great earth. We would like to dedicate this piece of music to those many pioneers who so long ago, faced grave hardships to make this state their home, and to all Floridians who have given their lives in our nation's armed forces or while protecting our residents while working in the field of law enforcement."
