In a Veterans Day commemoration, Taylor announced on his website Wednesday that he has teamed up with various military and humanitarian organizations to offer a free download of his song “19.”

Soldiers’ Angels, The Los Angeles Greater Red Cross, and the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs all are offering “19” on their sites.

"Honoring our country’s servicemen and women is something that we should all celebrate together. For Veterans Day, I’d like to illustrate my appreciation for those who have served in defense of our livelihood and country by offering a free download of my song, 19. Featured on my latest album, The Distance, 19 is a patriotic song about a soldier’s call to duty. Help me celebrate the millions of veterans who have served. Continue to support organizations that help make a difference in the lives of our veterans, current servicemen, and their families. Enjoy 19!    For more information, visit taylorhicks.com
