The group sold "Come Home Soon" bracelets with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross. [3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann and premiered in mid-2004. It depicts the three sisters, plus many others, walking down a street at night holding candles at a vigil, ending with a message that reads "For all our heroes, here at home". [4]
