Yesterday was First Responders Day and in honor of the occasion George Strait has released a powerful video for his song “The Weight of the Badge,” which highlights stories and moments with our nation’s first responders and their families.

“The men and women in this music video are our friends and neighbors who carry the weight of the badge each day,” George shares. “Thank you. We appreciate you and the sacrifices you and your families make.”

To coincide with the video, George has launched the website TheWeightOfTheBadge.com, which invites people to share their stories and gratitude for the first responders in their lives.
