Country music artist Coffey Anderson proudly announces the release of his powerful new single, “You Can’t Spell Hero Without Her,” a soulful tribute to the courage and sacrifices of women who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. military. Now available on all major streaming platforms, the song blends Anderson’s signature country sound with a heartfelt message of gratitude for servicewomen who often go unrecognized.
The inspiration for the track came from a chance encounter with Belle, a wounded Army veteran, at one of Anderson’s shows.
“Belle asked me why I hadn’t written a song about women in the service,” Anderson shared. “She opened up about the struggles they face and how their contributions are frequently overlooked. That conversation stayed with me.”
Known for his viral hit “Mr. Red White and Blue,” which celebrates male military heroes, Anderson felt compelled to honor women like Belle. A former Staff Sergeant (E-6) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team Leader, Belle served in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In June 1996, she was injured in the Khobar Towers bombing, a testament to her bravery and resilience.
“Women in the military are often ignored, and our sacrifices minimized,” Belle said. “We don’t serve for glory, but it means a lot to be acknowledged alongside our counterparts. This song touches me deeply, and I hope it shows other servicewomen and veterans they’re appreciated.”
Historically, only one woman has received the Medal of Honor, yet today’s servicewomen continue to break barriers and inspire future generations. “You Can’t Spell Hero Without Her” shines a spotlight on their determination and strength, drawing from real-life stories like Belle’s.
