Good Stuff for Friday

I've spent much of the day reading. Reading a book, reading Want Ads and doing research about Iraq. It is weighing on my heart so much. Here's something I found during my wanderings. Enjoy and pass it on. Thanks to BLACKFIVE.






The first is a homegrown version of a video for the song, the second is an official video.

"I had three of the four guys on the ground that died that day. I was so heartbroken after I passed out all the flags at the memorial service. I was just thinking about the bagpiper, who is also a retired SEAL captain, standing there literally crying the song out of the bagpipes. We were all so sad. When I came home my wife said I should write down some words. Tim called me and asked how I was doing. I told him I wrote this poem and he said well let me have it. We went back and forth on the phone and decided to make it a tribute to everyone from World War II to the present." Navy SEAL Commander Mark Waddell
This song is the result.

Share.
