Terry Kelly, singer, songwriter, paralympic athlete, blind from the age of 1, wrote this song after experiencing a father with a small child trying to engage a clerk in a discussion during a November 11th, 11 AM "two minutes of silence" request. Terry Kelly went to Afghanistan in 2007 to perform for the troops. This video is very moving. Please take the time to watch it.
