The War That Followed Me Home: A Song for the Veterans Still Fighting

"The War That Followed Me Home."

When we talk about war, we often think of distant battlefields, heroic missions, and brave men and women in uniform. We honor the service, the sacrifice, and the stars and stripes they fight to protect. But for many veterans, the most difficult battles begin after the war is over—when they come home.

“The War That Followed Me Home” is a song that speaks to the invisible wounds our heroes carry. It tells the story of the emotional and psychological struggle faced by countless veterans trying to re-enter a world that no longer feels like home.

🎖 Not All Wounds Are Visible

This song isn’t just about combat—it’s about the silence that follows it. It’s about the internal enemies that creep into daily life: PTSD, isolation, guilt, grief, and the deep disconnection from those who can’t understand the weight of it all. It’s about trying to smile through pain, to love through trauma, and to live when you're still haunted by the past.

Some of our bravest feel more comfortable in battle gear than in their own skin. And tragically, many feel more at home on a war-torn field than at the dinner table with their families. This song gives a voice to that heartbreaking truth.

💬 Why This Song Matters

If you're a veteran, or someone who loves a veteran, this song will hit home. It doesn’t sugarcoat the truth—it honors it. It acknowledges the courage it takes not just to fight overseas, but to fight for a sense of normalcy once you return.

It reminds us that freedom has a cost—and too often, that cost is borne quietly, alone, and indefinitely.

This song is a thank you. A tribute. And a reminder.
