This past Sunday Carlene Crom had her official CD release event on Veterans’ Day in conjunction with the Rommel–Conklin VFW Post #7064 at the Fremont-Mills School in Tabor, Iowa. Last summer Carlene wrote a song called “Hear Freedom Ring” for the dedication of the Veterans’ War Memorial Wall in her home town. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of her latest CD A View From The Porch Swing are being donated to the VFW in support of this display, and Carlene was able to present the VFW with a check from sales to date.
As part of this day of appreciation, I was also honored with a plaque from Carlene in appreciation for work and time put into her CD. I was greatly humbled to receive this surprise recognition. I’m glad to have contributed some part to the value and enjoyment of this musical work and hope many people are blessed by hearing it. It was also a privilege to be a small part of helping Carlene support her local VFW and those commemorated by the Memorial Wall and other services the VFW provides.
