“The Ones Who Still Stand” is a heartfelt Veterans Day tribute by David Burnell — a cinematic, acoustic ballad honoring every man and woman who has ever worn the uniform, from the great wars to the quiet front lines of the Cold War and beyond. It speaks to the unseen battles fought long after the guns fall silent — the courage, the scars, and the brotherhood that endures. This song reminds us that freedom lives not only in the victories, but in the hearts of those who return home changed, yet still stand strong.
