A salute to the troops

Dedicated to Michael Nagy, M.I.A. WWII, "Where Freedom Flies" features Diana Nagy's warm and rich vocals that reach out and grab you, inviting you into a world of reverence and honor that Nagy espouses for her nation and the men and women who serve it. Nagy's tribute to our troops, our country and our flag is powerful and inspirational.

The first release off “The Journey Of Life”, is the patriotic smash hit “Where Freedom Flies”. It’s a song dedicated to the troops and Michael Nagy MIA WWII.

Michael “Mike” Nagy, was flying one of the last planes shot down in WWII. He was a gunner in the Navy, had just flown his last mission, and was returning home. His route home crossed the path of the aircraft carrier USS Independence enroute to Japan, which was short two fighter planes. Mike and his crew, volunteered to fly in the place of one of the missing fighter planes, and join them for “one last mission.” Mike never returned from that mission…..

The Navy notified Mike’s family he was MIA on the very same day the war was declared over.

Mike’s photo hung on the wall of the Nagy family-owned restaurant in Oakland, California. One day, a serviceman came in and saw Mike’s picture proudly framed on that wall. Recognizing the face in the photo, he asked about it. Informed that it was Mike Nagy, son of the proprietors, he contacted Mrs. Nagy and told her he had recently seen Mike in the South Pacific.

The visiting serviceman had been a member of a patrol crew that had pulled Mike out of the water a few months earlier. Mike had survived being shot down and was returned to an island in the South Pacific. However, this was not the incident that was the cause of Mike being reported as missing. A check of dates indicated the first incident had occurred a couple of months before the mission from which Mike did not return….

Some years later, Mike’s youngest brother John, (Diana’s father) stationed overseas, searched for his brother. He knew approximately where Mike’s plane had gone down in Maizuro Harbor, Japan. Inquiring about his brother, he was fortunate enough to meet a news reporter who led him to an elder of the village. That man remembered the day Michael Nagy was shot down. It was the only plane that had gone down in that harbor. The elder took him out in a fishing boat to the spot where Mike’s plane went down. He was able to tell the story in great detail, as he recalled that day vividly.

Michael Nagy, an American hero, shot down twice, the second of which he paid the ultimate price.

This song is dedicated to our brave, who sacrifice to keep our flag flying at unreachable heights!!

WE SALUTE YOU!!!

WHERE FREEDOM FLIES

AND OUR BRAVE ONES HELD THIS FLAG
HELD IT PROUD UP TO THE SKY
SO THE REST OF US CAN LIVE
WHERE FREEDOM FLIES

IN THE MEMORIES
THAT LIVE IN OUR HEARTS
IS THE COST OF FREEDOM
THERE’S A PRICE FOR FREEDOM

BUT FOR THOSE WHO DOUBT
WHO FORGET WHAT IT TAKES
TO PROTECT THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
TO FLY THIS FLAG OF FREEDOM

OUR BRAVE ONES HELD THIS FLAG
HELD IT PROUD UP TO THE SKY
SO THE REST OF US CAN LIVE
WHERE FREEDOM FLIES

WE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
TO HOLD YOUR HAND OUT STRONG
THE SACRIFICE TO HELP OUR BROTHERS
WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
WE GATHER THE STRENGTH
AND FIND A WAY TO BE STRONG
THE FAITH TO CARRY ON

IN AMERICA WE REMEMBER,
THE SACRIFICE WE’VE KNOWN
JUST TO FLY OUR FLAG SO PROUDLY
IN A LAND THAT’S FREE

TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
TO HOLD YOUR HAND OUT STRONG
THE SACRIFICE TO HELP OUR BROTHERS
WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
WE GATHER THE STRENGTH
WE FIND A WAY TO BE STRONG,
THE FAITH TO CARRY ON

OUR BRAVE ONES HELD THIS FLAG
HELD IT PROUD UP TO THE SKY
SO THE REST OF US
CAN LIVE WHERE FREEDOM FLIES
