In 1996 Ricochet became the only band in country music to chart a recording of our national anthem. As a way to honor our nation and those who keep us free the band has continued to perform the national anthem during each of their live performances and at events throughout the world since that date. Likewise, each year since 1982 The Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs has honored the military's five service chiefs and the Commander of the Special Operations Command with the Henry M. Jackson Distinguished Service Award.
