Joint Base Andrews, Md. –
It's no longer your dad's Air Force and neither is the music servicemembers play. Max Impact, the premier rock band of the United States Air Force, released a new music video worldwide Feb. 29 featuring an original rock song called "Send Me."
The video shows the amazing Airmen from Air Force Special Operations Command and draws inspiration from the Special Tactics motto "First there...that others may live." The video shows these highly-trained Air Force professionals in combat and in training, and highlights their commitment and sacrifices.
A collaboration between Senior Master Sgt. Matt Ascione and Master Sgt. Ryan Carson, "Send Me" began as a request from a leader in the Special Tactics community who saw one of the band's high-energy performances. He wanted to highlight his men's courage and selfless service, as well as inspire them to new heights. Produced with assistance from Air Force Television, the video integrates footage of Airmen from Air Force Special Operations Command.
"This song was written to honor, encourage and inspire our Special Tactics Airmen," Carson said. "Whether a combat controller, pararescueman, tactical air control party or a special operations weather team member-- these Airmen exemplify the warrior ethos and our core values of integrity, service before self and excellence in all we do."

The song lyrics are:
Take a look into my eyes
What do you see
Can you feel the intensity
Sacrifice - I know what it means
To give it all and face my enemy
Never back down, this fight we'll win, never say die, never give in
Chorus
Who will be the one to stand and fight for you and be the first there?
We give our all that others may live
That's why we say
Send me
Send me
Take a look into our eyes and you will see
A mission framed in victory, in the air land or sea
We shoot we move we're saving lives
Into the fray with courage and pride
Chorus
I am an American Airman.
I am a Warrior.
I have answered my Nation's call.
I will never leave an Airman behind,
I will never falter,
And I will not fail.
Send me
I will be the one
Send me
Send me
Send me
Send me
