Updated: Apr 8, 2021


Great song by a great artist and patriot, Navy Veteran Dave Bray USA and "Better Man!"

The Inspiration behind a "Better Man!"


Sometimes God breaks us down in order to build us back up and make us stronger...


I know it’s a sullen song, but when I wrote “Better Man”, I was actually in a really good place! I was feeling Strong, Grateful and Blessed...


I wrote “Better Man” as a reminder to myself of the Darkness I had just been through and to remember the amount of Prayer, Time and Faith it took to get me out of that Darkness and back to a place of internal peace and gratitude.


Back to being a “Better Man” than I was before He tore me down...

"I had the pleasure of meeting the entire Bray family in New York City during the Veteran's Days Parade where Dave Bray USA performed his version of the National Anthem - we had one of the best floats and the only singer in the Veteran's Parade that day - great memories of November 2018...
