“
" Time for Change ”
Nashville Recording Artist, Rickey Lee Watson, pours his heart & soul into one of the best
Country Music recordings to hit the airways in many years. This 12 song Masterpiece rides
the emotional highs and lows of a man who is living proof that American Dreams can come
true.
“What I Love About America”
This first song sets the tone for the album by paying homage to our great nation and all her
wonderful attributes. It picks up where Lee Greenwood left off with his American anthem, “God
Bless the U.S.A.” (1984). Twenty-five years later, it is fitting that a man who is 65% blind would
help us to see how strong we are even when faced with uncertainty and doubt… Rickey Lee
Watson delivers a timely message for a people whose faith, dignity, and pride as Americans are
needed now more than ever. This is truly the next Country Music American Anthem!

Western New York's Medal of Honor Recipients
World War II
Lt. Col. Matt "The Ghost" Urban
On Saturday, June 14, 2008, a monument honoring America's most decorated combat soldier was unveiled in a ceremony at the Erie County Rath Building for Lt. Col. Matt "The Ghost" Urban. He was born in Buffalo on August 7, 1919 of Polish immigrant parents, raised at 1153 Broadway. He attended Buffalo Public School # 57.
This World War II hero had already earned every military award available - many more than once. (29 medals for bravery and The Purple Heart seven times) It took 35 years for him to be recognized for the Medal of Honor. The award nomination his battalion commander wrote, prior to being killed in action, never reached headquarters of the 9th Infantry Division in Europe. In 1978, a review of Matt Urban's records revealed a copy of this proposed letter. Officials discovered they had mistakenly overlooked awarding him the Medal of Honor. On July 19, 1980, then President Jimmy Carter presented him his long awaited Medal of Honor.
