While driving on Memorial Day in 2011, songwriter Connie Harrington tuned into National Public Radio (NPR) and listened to an interview featuring a father talking about his late son who was a soldier. To honor his son’s memory, Paul Monti started driving his son’s truck.
Two years after she first learned of Monti and his son, Harrington’s song, “I Drive Your Truck,” became a top hit for country star Lee Brice. It also continues to be a healing agent for many who to keep memories of their loved ones alive.
