During his recent 10-day trip to Iraq, Joe Nichols took along a video crew to document the unforgettable journey. Naturally, he spent a lot of time talking to the men and women serving in the Armed Forces there. Bits of those emotionally-charged conversations can now be seen in a video Joe has posted on You Tube.

Coinciding with his latest single, 'Believers,' Joe has been asking fans to submit videos expressing what they believe in, and he did the same with the troops deployed in Iraq. The result is a special video titled 'Believers Challenge From Iraq,' which he has also posted on his website.

"I think it's really important for people to hear what our men and women in the military have to say," Joe notes. "I recorded the song 'Believers' because I feel the song has a strong and much needed message. We all need encouragement and something to believe in. Then when I went to Iraq and saw the strength and character the men and women in our military service exhibit every day and their belief in what they're doing, I knew I wanted to get that on film and share it with everyone. They are my inspiration."

'Believers' is the first single from Joe latest album, 'Old Things New,' which will be released later this year.
