Moving Music/Video Tribute to Veterans Created by Sams Family Members Going Viral 

The United States will observe Veteran's Day Sunday (Nov. 11), a day that recognizes the service of all U.S. military veterans. The meaning and emotion behind Veteran's Day has been captured in a remarkably moving way in an original song and video that has been put 

together by three very talented members of the Sams family. The name is familiar to people in the domain business thanks to industry veteran David Sams (who was the subject of September 2011 Cover Story). 

Before he got into this business David had phenomenal success as a Hollywood TV producer. He played a key role in launching the most popular syndicated talk show in television history with Oprah Winfrey. He was part of the legendary team that launched other smash hits like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and he won 9 Emmy Awards along the way. 

Today I learned that David isn't the only member of the family with extraordinary talent. David posted a link to a music video on his Facebook account this morning featuring an original song called "Dear Veteran" that is marvelously sung by his 13-year-old daughter Elizabeth, who also co-wrote the tune with her mother, Renee Sams. After being both floored and inspired when Elizabeth sent him a copy of her song, David put his video production talents to work stitching together a stunning collage of scenes that completed this very special package.

It looks like "Dear Veteran" is quickly going viral. Within an hour of when David posted the YouTube link to the video, more than 50 others has shared the link with their friends. By the end of the day it will be in triple digits if not more. You can see this special gift to our veterans by clicking Play on the video below.
