what is the song about a war hero that one of the country singers sings?

The song you’re probably thinking of is “Letters From Home” by John Michael Montgomery , a country song about a soldier serving far from home and the messages that keep him going. It’s one of the better-known country songs centered on a military hero and homefront support.

Other likely matches

A few other country songs with a similar theme are:

• “Riding with Private Malone” by David Ball.
• “American Soldier” by Toby Keith.
• “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” isn’t exactly about a war hero, but people sometimes mix it up with military tribute songs.

Why this is the likely one

Your wording sounds like you mean a song “about a war hero” sung by a country artist, and that usually points to one of the classic military tribute songs in country music. If you remember any lyric, like “letters from home” or “boots on the ground,” I can narrow it down further.
