A Barrett woman’s music video tribute to soldiers, including those from the Alexandria area, is now on YouTube.

Ciara Drexler wrote a song and had a vision she was determined to see through. The final goal is a music video Drexler hopes will send a message to service men and woman everywhere.

The singer/songwriter wrote "Civilian’s Song" and asked the public to join her in filming a music video at Citizens Field in Alexandria. Her motive wasn’t fame or fortune – it was to thank those who serve and protect this country.

“I wanted it to be something that could be a voice for other people who might feel the same way I feel,” said Drexler. “I wanted to have others join me in thanking them.”
