"Thank you so much for your singing of the National Anthem yesterday at the Gulf Coast Medical Center, Tessa! You sang with your heart and many were in tears. Don't be surprised if you get calls from different veteran groups as Colonel Steve Epkins
blasted our information out to Lee and Collier County.
Thank you so much!

“I just sent your name, telephone number, and
email address to 52 different folks and told them
if they ever need someone to sing the National
Anthem, to please call you.
I thought you did a great job singing the
National Anthem, you have a great voice.
Thank You and it was a pleasure meeting you
today. I would imagine that you will get some
calls to sing for various groups and at various
ceremonies.”

“Tessa’s rendition of our National Anthem is nothing short of breathtaking. With a voice that carries both grace and strength, she transforms each performance into a moment of reverence and unity. Her vocal presence not only uplifts the crowd but also captures the deep emotion and pride woven into the fabric of our Nation’s heritage.

Beyond her remarkable talent, Tessa is a shining example of what it means to give back. Her ongoing commitment to community outreach and her willingness to serve at local ceremonies, patriotic events, and charitable gatherings reveal a character rooted in service, humility, and heart. She is more than a singer—she is a cultural ambassador for faith, patriotism, and the American spirit.”
