Country music star, Trace Adkins, is well known for his support of the men and women who are serving, and have served,

in the U.S. military. His proud support of the military is evidenced not only by the charities he lends his voice to, but also in his songs.

Trace Adkin’s music video for his rendition of “Arlington”, shows the country music star walking through Arlington National Cemetery while he sings the haunting song. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW

The beautiful lyrics were written by Dave Turnbull and Jeremy Spillman, for a June 2005 release. It featured on Adkin’s album, “Songs About Me”, and was the second single he released from the album.

This chilling song was inspired by a soldier from Tennessee, Corporal Patrick Nixon of the United States Marin Corps, who died in action, killed in an ambush in Iraq on March 23, 2003.
