This Uniform’s For You” was written and dedicated to his dad. In the video’s description, Easton shares his story as to how and why he wrote this song.

You’ve got to feel for him and all the other kids with military parents.

“I was inspired to write this song so that I could share my experience as a young child and having my dad go away to war. I wanted my dad to know how proud I am that he serves in the military and how much I respect the Uniform he wears. I know firsthand that when a family member serves, their entire family serves and sacrifices with them.”

Easton was four when his dad gave him a uniform that matched his father’s. Dad wore his uniform for his son and so Easton wore his to fill his dad’s shoes when he was away on deployment.
