“I am very grateful for the exposure that the song has received.” Says Rick. “The song has really taken off and I know that it has touched many people since the release.” “I have been extremely fortunate to be able to share the song with so many people and at so many events. “In Their Eyes” truly speaks to the heroism that police officers exhibit on a daily basis and the ultimate sacrifice that is sometimes given.”
