Heroes Need Heroes by Tara Thompson

A moving music video by country artist and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee native Tara Thompson, in honor of our nation’s military, veterans, and first responders to raise awareness and to help mitigate the elevated suicide rate maligning these communities. The video is the end result of a five-month video shoot done in collaboration with the veteran non-profit, Spartan Sword, that spanned from one end of the country to the other.

Pictures Are Worth a Thousand Words
The video shows current military and first responder heroes at work and interacting with Thompson. Viewers meet Janine, “Mama” Lutz, a mother who lost her veteran son, LCpl John V. Lutz, to pharmaceutical suicide. Her story and Army Veteran Boone Cutler's Spartan Pledge are what the song is built around, humanizing all who serve our communities and country.

As the song says, “There’s a common thread in each of us, it’s the same thing we all need… a purpose, a friend, and a little hope.” The emotional video is based on a true story, taking the viewer from sadness and tragedy and then lift them up with patriotic images and a positive message about helping each other.
