Military Theme
A friend sent this to me. I had no idea that the song existed. This is an important piece of music. I think everyone should hear it. The radio stations probably wouldn't play it because it is not politically correct. So if you feel like I do ......send it on.

A beautiful reminder of an emotionally filled time. The Viet Nam Memorial wall was erected to heal a nation emerging from a unjust war,by honoring our fallen troops. It hardly does it justice by referring to not getting enough play time as "politically correct". What are we going to do for the vets coming home from this current unjust war?

At least this time they won't be cast as "baby killers" and the like. I couldn't hear the song, but I'm guessing the words are they same as what was written between the pics.

Whether a war is or is not “just” depends largely upon who is asked. For example, Osama Bin Laden et al. were/are of the opinion that their war on Americans, to include civilians, was just. The civilians killed would probably disagree.

Thanks, Irish, for the beautiful song and for bringing back memories of some very brave young men who gave their lives in service to our country. God bless them all and may they all rest in peace!

probably won't be spit on either! Irish

Isn't having a place like this to come to with your personal thoughts the idea here?

Yes sir, they do. Our opinions are a critical part of these discussions; just so long as they are not the only thing we bring to these discussions.

Opinions are great, so long as we don't beat each other over the heads with them, in my opinion.
