Greg Lato is now highlighting and amplifying the voices of military kids and families with a special new project. The album, titled ‘Dandelion: Songs Inspired by Military Kids and Families’ got its name because the dandelion is the official flower of the military child. It represents the resilience and adaptability of military children. Greg has met and listened to these wonderful military families in order to make their voices heard through song. He is letting people know what they go through and endure to serve this country and allow us to enjoy the freedoms we all have.
