>> ronan: i do.i sing from a song that was written by a lady called mary fahl, and it's "going home." and i remember mary told me the story about her brother. what i think is wonderful is that this song is a great song for service men and women to hear because, after all, these women and men protect our country and it's great to be able to sing something that's very emotional and very real, and i think our listeners will enjoy that song. >> rhea: i have no doubt that you're going to enjoy that song. i hope that you will not only enjoy that song, but every part of this program, and enjoy it enough to get up and go to the phone and make the best possible pledge that you can to this station. it's going to mean a lot to you, and it will mean a great deal to us. enjoy the next part of the show. >> ronan: thank you. >> ronan tynan has always possessed a fierce fire of determination. born with legs that had a deformity below the knees, he learned early on that life could be, indeed would be, a struggle. his
