This is a tribute to the 11 men missing from the Deepwater Horizon. I did not make this video but I did feel it needed to be up for the world to see. Oilfield workers catch a bad wrap but most don’t understand it is a way of life for us and once in a while some of our brothers pay the ultimate sacrifice. The song is by Trace Adkins, it’s called Missing You. Trace used to work for Transocean so it is fitting that his song speaks well about what we go through. Please don’t leave hateful comments or I will delete them.
