Idea for "the Other Little Soldier" Video

[Country01]

Hey guys! I was thinking of ideas for videos Josh could do for his songs last night. I came up with an idea for "The Other Little Soldier" that I really like and I was just wondering what ya'll thought about it! Ok for the first chourus:

He used to play in daddy's uniform
With the stipes across the sleeve
He knew when he was all grown up what he was gonna be=show a little boy in a big army uniform with a litle toy gun running around the front yard of an old country house.

He used to like to ambush every careless cat or dog
He had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn=Show a little boy chasing a dog or cat and ctahcing it DO NOT SHOW JOSH AT ALL THROUGH THE WHOLE FIRST VERSE!!!

Chorus=Show Josh sitting on the edge a little tree fort looking down wathcing the little boy run arond the yard

2nd verse=

Phone rings in the middle of the night when they called his dad to go=show a daddy sitting up in bed leaning over to answer the phone and talkng and the wife is turned away so her hubby thinks she's sleeping but has a tear running down her cheek

Kissed him and his mom good-bye and said God I love you both=Show dad in army uniform hugging his wife and son. They would be in a fenced in area with a plane behind them and other families around saying bye...show Josh leaning against the fence watching them

I know it's a lot to ask of such a little man, but hold the fort and I'll be home as quickly as i can=show daddy on his knees talking to his son and hugging him

Chorus=Show Josh still leaning on the fence watching and the daddy walking in the palne waving god-bye and mouthing the words "I Love You" and the mom crying and the son watching and saluting

Bridge:

A wall could not begin to hold the names of all the kids
who gave the greatest sacrifice
that any child could give=show Josh leaning againt the Vietnam wall and when he touches is have it turn white and show him running his fingers across a name that says Billy Joe: Lost his daddy in WW2 the name could be a name of any child though...I just made that one up!

It was the frist time he'd ever seen a flag from up that close=Show a little boy dressend nicely and the mom dressed nicley looking at the flag in the soldiers hands unfolded

he watched them as they folded it so careful and so slow=soldiers begin to fold flag

As they gave it to his mother he knew what he should do
He raised his little hand to give his dad one last salute=show soldier handing flag to his mother and little boy saluting daddy

Chorus=show mother and son walking away from casket and Josh walking up to it and running his hands along the casket and saluting, maybe bending down to kiss it


So what do ya'll think! Please be honest! If ya have any ideas, let me know. Maybe Cindy could get this to Josh some how! Thanks a lot guys!
