This Monday we set aside a national day of tribute and remembrance for all those who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We commemorate the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of our fallen heroes and their families, and we thank them for defense of the freedoms we cherish.

May we never forget the purpose behind the holiday, and may those freedoms so dearly protected ever be ever defended, from enemies both foreign and domestic.

I guy in my cousin's unit wrote a "historical fiction" book on the raids they never made into Cambodia. His commanding officer says he knew what would happen pages ahead the first time he read it.

That song was written by Bruce Robinson from Bandera.


This is not his best version, but I couldn’t find his album version.
It was covered by his wife, who was part of the Dixie Chicks.
I start having eye allergies as soon as it gets to the piccolo player.

Other than Taps played on a bugle, and maybe Amazing Grace on bagpipes, I cannot think of a better song for Memorial Day.

To fallen comrades.
