My singing voice took me all over the world. But no matter how far I traveled, how many things I experienced, I kept returning to a feeling inside.

Janeen Phelps

I grew up in an Army family. My dad, uncles, and both of my grandfathers served. So as soon as I turned seventeen, I asked for my dad's blessing to enlist. But, having served in the Army during the Vietnam era, responding to civil unrest, he said no. He had his reasons. >/b So, I turned to singing—first, on the strip in Vegas; then, after a performance at the Apollo Theater in New York, I was invited to sing for a top cruise line, where I spent five years traveling everywhere.

Over seventy different countries, witnessing the good, and also the bad in the world—places torn apart by political unrest, people suffering. Our ship was once turned away after a port had been bombed.

When I was seventeen, I...
I had such real big dreams, I...
Said, "Dad, I want to be a Soldier,
So I can be like you.
>/b
"And though the years have passed now,
Feeling just seems to last now.
It's not too hard to grasp now.
Hey, Dad, I've got to be like you."

Janeen Phelps

Dad came around. And now I've turned my desire to serve into an Army career and two master's degrees. And I still find time to perform for my fellow Soldiers.
