Robins comments: “Building community and empowering our veterans by giving them the tools they need to re- integrate back home – this is what’s special for me about the HonorVet approach.

We are grateful for his support not only to our organization but also to the entire community of those who have and continue to serve our great nation.”Early reviews have praised Robins’ CD as evoking the music of Cat Stevens, and of having “a particular resonance.” The Record-Journal commented, “Robins’ song “Heroes” tells the story of soldiers returning home. He does it masterfully and with such heart and passion, which is hard to capture in song.”
The song was written on the eve of Robins’ visit to the Landstuhl Medical facility in Germany. He recently discussed the track in an expansive podcast interview, and a transcript of the discussion re ‘Heroes’ follows: “Heroes is written for our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
