Daniel Rodriguez, known to many as the "Singing Policeman" or "America's Beloved Tenor" who so moved the country after the tragedy of 9/11 in 2001, continues to use his voice in support of our country, and to carry his ministry of music around the world.

Daniel devotes well over half of his schedule appearing at functions for humanitarian projects and special charities, and performs on a regular basis for organizations such as Gear Up, and service organizations such as the Fraternal Order of Police, and countless others.

Daniel has long supported our men and women in uniform, performing at military functions and visiting with the men and women at Walter Reed and Bethesda military hospitals.

Over the past several years Daniel has focused on a personal project called "Songs for the Soldiers," to supply music to our troops around the world.

Funds to sponsor these CD's have come from donations, and profits from his "Concerts for the Troops."

Since their inception these concerts have helped to bring the gift of music to

thousands of our service men and women serving their country overseas.

"I am very honored to be recognized for something that comes naturally for me. I love my country and those who fight and die, so that I can have the freedom to stand up and say what I feel.

I have visited the hospitals where our young men and woman continue to fight, but now it is for themselves. They fight to hear, to see, to stand, some fight to find what they have lost, and others to understand why.

I fight for them all, to make sure we never forget them. We always stand behind them and when they cannot walk, we will stand up for them. Our country has its faults and other countries love to criticize but look how far we have come, when we have not been here as long as they have. Not bad for the new kids on the block. May our future be guided by faith and common sense."
