video produced by d corlew films and featured on

Daniels' version of the Johnny Cash standard "Ragged Old Flag" also includes vocals by Mark "Oz" Geist, Benghazi warrior/survivor and co-author of the autobiography "13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi."
"The 'Ragged Old Flag' project was very personal to me," said David Corlew, "Ragged Old Flag" video producer and Daniels' manager. "When you have the opportunity to create images for a piece that was written by Johnny Cash, performed by Charlie Daniels - and its content consists of what is closest to my heart: our warriors - present and past, our country, and our flag - it really can't get any better."
Daniels founded his charity, The Journey Home Project, in 2014. It's managed by board members Corlew, with Joe and Mercedez Longever. The Journey Home Project sees its mission as connecting donors to veterans' organizations that do the most good. They identify the centers, organizations and programs that can best serve soldiers and families in their journey to reintegrate back to civilian life, on life's terms.
