Mary Millben Partners with Lee Greenwood on "On To Victory" Ahead of "March for Kids" Event

Award-winning International Singer Mary Millben is set to release her new single "On To Victory" featuring Grammy, ACM, and CMA award-winning singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood ahead of the inaugural 'March for Kids' event in Washington, D.C. next Saturday, August 31st, 2024. Projected to draw thousands of parents from across America, this nonpartisan event is birthed from America's grassroots movement defending parental rights and prioritizing children.

Written by Claude Gardner and choir arrangement by Leon Lacey, this anthem focuses on the protection of children in America while elevating the messages of freedom, liberty, and truth - foundational values of America.

"I am thrilled to debut this new anthem with my friend and featured guest artist Lee Greenwood. Lee and his wife Kim are my dear friends, and I am so honored to have Lee a part of this meaningful project. When March for Kids asked me to create an original song speaking to the protection of America's kids and celebrating freedom, I felt the song needed more than just my voice and I immediately thought of Lee," Millben said.

Greenwood, the voice of America's most-recognized patriotic anthem "God Bless the U.S.A.", and Millben, coined as America's "National Anthem Singer" globally, both performed on the final night of the 2024 Republican National Convention, just prior to President Donald J. Trump accepting the nomination to be the 47th President of the United States.

"Just as I have for almost 15 years, for decades Lee has dedicated his life and music career to singing anthems about freedom and liberty. Anthems have the power to recenter us on what is right, true, and beneficial for humanity. A country is at its best when freedom and liberty are celebrated, truth is upheld, and children take priority. And this priority includes their protection. Children are God's greatest gift to us, and I believe we all must do everything possible to protect them. So does Lee," Millben said.

"This song will not only elevate March for Kids and bring inspiration to America's moms, dads, grandparents, and guardians, but I truly believe every American and global citizen will be singing this song for years to come. Our kids are our future and hope," Millben said.

With seven #1 songs & 25 charted singles to his credit, choosing songs proved to be a success for Greenwood. Lee Greenwood has won numerous industry awards including, Male Vocalist of the Year from the Academy of Country Music in 1983, two Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the Country Music Association in 1983 & 1984 and a Grammy for Top Male Vocal Performance in 1985 for "I.O.U.". The CMA also named "God Bless The U.S.A." its Song of the Year in 1985.

"God Bless the U.S.A." went far beyond what Greenwood expected when he wrote it in the back of his tour bus in 1983. The song has been in the top five on the country singles charts three times (1991, 2001 and 2003), giving it the distinction of being the only song in any genre of music to achieve that feat. It was also #1 on the pop charts after 9/11/01. In addition, CBS News voted "God Bless The U.S.A." the most recognizable patriotic song in America.  Having performed for five consecutive U.S. Presidents, 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of "God Bless The U.S.A.!"

Millben is a story of the American dream. A preacher's daughter from Oklahoma, Millben has performed the National Anthem and patriotic music for four consecutive U.S. Presidents - President George W. Bush, President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump, and President Joe Biden, international royalty, and world leaders. Millben has been featured at the 58th Presidential Inauguration Victory Celebration for President Trump, The White House, the United States Congress, 2024 International Cricket Council T20 World Cup, for the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), 2016 RIO Olympics, off-Broadway, in India, China, Europe, Canada, Africa, and in concert halls worldwide. Pairing her message of unity with diplomacy, Millben has gained international recognition for her performances of global anthems for India, China, Brazil, UAE, Israel, and other G20 countries.

February 2020, Notefornote Entertainment released Millben's debut single "Grace Will Lead Me Home" on THE MEANEST MAN IN TEXAS original motion picture soundtrack now on all leading digital platforms globally and received Academy Award/Oscar eligibility. "Grace Will Lead Me Home" was written for THE MEANEST MAN IN TEXAS and the film is available on Amazon Prime Video. Millben is devoted to using her voice and platform to share God's love to hearts and lands globally.
