"I think the sentiment of this song speaks to so many people in this country," says Phil. "Despite our differences in politics or our differences as people, we're all united as Americans and the stars and stripes represent our strength and dignity as a country."

Phil was inspired to write "Old Glory" while serving active duty in the United States Navy as a Musician Third Class at Navy Band Southeast in Jacksonville, Florida. Phil recently released his self-titled debut CD after competing in the sixth season of American Idol and continues to remain active in the Navy Reserves.
