Third Day's Brad Avery and Scott Thomas write song thanking American soldiers

A MEMBER of best selling Christian rock band Third Day, Brad Avery and songwriting friend Scott Thomas have written a song "Thank You" selected as the new theme song for A Million Thanks website (www.amillionthanks.org), the organisation set up "to express their thanks verbally and through random acts of kindness to soldiers and their families." The inspiration for "Thank You" began at an airport when Scott Thomas met a soldier who was departing for Fallujah after a two week visit with his family in the US. After a moving conversation, Scott felt led to reach out in some way, but didn't know what to do. With all of the negative news coverage of the war, none of which focused on American soldiers and their sacrifice, he decided to write a song to show his gratitude.
