Tomorrow my 12 year old daughter will be performing a lyrical dance performance to this song for an elementary school's Veteran's Day program. She is a 2 deployment survivor and she is dancing in honor of all Veteran's separated from their family. Next time you see a Vet, young or old, Thank them for their selfless service.

to whom it may concern, You must not have a heart for compassion for the human species or for mankind. Queensryche does not suck they are very professional at what they do they go above and beyond the extreme of the normal standard music theme and open up a variety of motions that calm us the human soul in such relaxation in harmony and for that moment it takes you away from all the stress and worries in life and set you free.

Angus McBean Shortly after 9/11 I was deployed to the desert. My son was almost 2 when I came back. He was unsure of me at first, which wasn’t easy. Though on the way home he was smiling and giggling with me. Now, both of my boys joined up and are serving. My oldest will leave next month for a year. I’ll worry but it’s in Gods hands. When you see a veteran or US soldier, thank them. It’s a high price to wear the uniform. Some soldiers spent years over seas deployed. Some never came back. To the family left behind, thank you. Don’t criticize the military. Ever. That soldier chose to be a hero. Thank you.

The album includes a particularly personal duet between Geoff Tate and his 10-year old daughter Emily. The song, entitled "Home Again," focuses on a father returning home to his family after having been gone an extended period. This theme reflects both the life of Tate as a touring musician and the life of one who serves in the military.[

My beautiful son Josh who I nearly lost at birth you have been so precious to me. I knew from the time you were little you would someday be where you are today. It has always been in your heart. I will forever remember the day you told me as we were coming home from school your senior year in high school. "Mom you know there are three things in my life I love more than anything. You, God and my country. You know I love you so much mom. I've decided to go to the Airforce. I'm dedicating my life to our Airforce." And as we smiled at it other my response was. "Josh I love you more than anything in this world and you know that. I always knew you would and you have my blessing" " I know you will be scared for me mom but don't be. I want you to be strong, I know you will be strong because you're my mom, the most loving and strong woman I will ever meet" The Grace of God is with you my sweet baby and Mommy is too ~ I love you💝

American Soldier is about the best, most touching album Queensryche has ever put out. It's actually hard to listen to without tearing up. 'Home Again' is my favorite song from the album.

I was lucky enough to be at this show. I was also extremely lucky to be at their shows from Rage For Order and onward through the years until Tate left. Although nothing beats the original Operation Mindcrime tour, I have to say I really liked American Soldier. It was their only other real concept album and they nailed the feelings of war. Tate, though much older and without the same vocal prowess was still a master songwriter/singer. Aside from the first 2 songs on this album, it’s right up there at number 4 of their best albums.
