A Brand New Release Just In Time for Memorial Day, From Renewed Records.  

FORGOTTEN HEROES

 

 

A song like no other ever to be released in memory of our Veterans, and
the Military in general, written by Dr. Robert Frank Smith and Sung By:
Renewed Records Inspirational Country Artist Rebecca Linda Smith.  

The song was a special request of Lucio Moreno, former president of VVA
Chapter 574 of EL Paso Texas, who right before last years event asked
Dr. Robert Frank Smith to apply his talents and write him a song for
this years event.  

Lucio Moreno passed away in late February 2009, physically never hearing the song, Rebecca Linda Smith first debut at his memorial service in his honor, the song has been a source of major request from all over the world and without an official release to Radio made a dramatic impact in both of their music careers.    

Renewed
Records Inspirational Country Artist Rebecca Linda Smith  

A Top 5 Nominee for Female Vocalist of the Year for
Inspirational Country Music (ICM) Awards 2007 and 2008.

Robert Frank Smith was once again nominated in Top 10 category for
Songwriter of the Year, have kick started 2009 with what could be a
song of the century and not of the year, Leakelane says this song will
touch hearts and lives for many years to come.  

Rebecca Linda (Garcia) Smith was born into a military family and spent most of her
young life between the United States and Germany.  

She became a public school teacher for a few years prior to a direct commission in
the U.S. Army. She served on active duty as a military officer for
three years and then three years in the Army Reserves after she
returned to teaching. She obtained a master’s degree in counseling and
taught and worked with students and families during her teaching
career.  

Rebecca Linda and Dr. Robert Frank have their own record label, RENEWED RECORDS. Thislabel was created because of the new direction they both felt that God was leading them. With a multitude of faith-based songs, they wanted to
reach out to the masses and not just “sing to the choir.” Their new
record label gives them the freedom to have songs that appeal to
Inspirational and Country audiences as well as Christian Country,
Southern Gospel, and Adult Contemporary Christian listeners. They both
feel that God has given them a mission to reach out to the lost across
the Globe who might not listen to Christian radio in order to “bless
hearts and renew lives."  

Rebecca Linda also completed another
major CD, AMERICAN HEROES, in 2007. This special Patriotic CD is
dedicated to all of our American military forces, their families, and
support personnel who sacrifice unselfishly to preserve our freedoms
and the American way of life. It includes all those ‘American Heroes’
in this great nation, past, present, and future who have given lives
and limbs to serve others in times of peace and war. This Patriotic
album with its passionate and heart-stirring single, “We Will
Remember,” written by Robert Frank, has been made part of the Flight 93
National Memorial in Somerset, Pennsylvania, which honors the survivors
and the fallen of September 11, 2001. This CD features a Country duet
with Rebecca Linda and Dave Caley, her label mate and member of the
Michigan Country Music Hall of Fame.
