"He was wonderful when he came to see us. He gave us all a big
hug," said Caroline Beazley, a member of the choir who was shot
while serving with Britain's armed forces in Belfast in 1994.
"I was injured a number of years ago and I hid away for a long
number of years for various reasons," she told Reuters.
"Being part of the choir for me ... It's about just being part
of a group of people that kind of get you and understand you."
Proceeds from the sale of the song, which was written by Bon
Jovi, will go to the foundation that supports the Invictus
Games, a sporting event for sick and injured veterans that is
one of Harry's favorite causes.
The singer's parents both served in the U.S. Marine Corps while
Harry served in the British military.
