Not a lot of people know this, but the United States Air Force actually has an amazingly talented rock band named Max Impact. It might seem weird at first, but when you realize that it's just one of six musical ensembles that all make up the full Air Force Band, it makes sense that we should have a rock band just as much as a marching band.
The six airmen who make up Max Impact travel the country and the world in order to show everyone just how incredible our country is! Just like the sailors of the honor guard, these musicians visit the White House, and other high-level government functions all in order to use music as a form of international diplomacy as well as entertainment.
While they usually play patriotic tunes and popular country songs, from time to time they'll play a new song to entertain the world. They also have no qualms in visiting bases overseas, performing their high intensity rock songs to help enhance the troop's morale by bringing our brave soldiers a little bit of home.
In the video below you'll get to see American Airman Technical Sgt. Nalani Quintello, a former American Idol contestant, perform one of her newest songs. Quintello was sure to be a Hollywood contestant, but instead she actually chose to drop out of the competition in order to sign up for the Air Force. Now that's what we call commitment!
We just love the message of this great song; man or woman it doesn't matter, we're all Americans first, and we'll all fight for freedom! Make sure to give their newest song a listen and let us know what you think of it. Pretty catchy if you ask me!
And please SHARE this music if you think everyone should be proud of our nation's brave military forces all around the world!
