Tippin actually wrote the song over two years ago, but it was never included on an album. He just recently recorded the tune, which will be released as a single with proceeds going to the American Red Cross.

Tuesday's program, coordinated by the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce, also featured the Smithville Community Chorus, a special tribute to DeKalb County Emergency personnel, and a special tribute to the military forces. Tippin's wife Thea and Clarence Young of Smithville also performed.
