Each memorial day I remember the CSNY song:
"Find the Cost of Freedom"
Daylight again, following me to bed
I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled
I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue
All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' after you
Hear the past a callin', from Armegeddon's side
When everyone's talkin' and no one is listenin', how can we decide?
(Do we) find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down
Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down
I support our troops everywhere but I find a lot to differ with them being there. I am afraid we are finding out that it took a nut to control a bunch of nuts.
I missed nam by 3 months. My father was awarded 3 purple hearts, 2 silver stars and one bronze star in Korea. My grandfather was too elderly for WWII.
I sit back with my internet buds from Belgium, England, Germany and Brazil discussing current events. In the end we wonder when the divisions will come down between us--we all feel the same about the sanctity of life, what is right and wrong in the world.
Feeding our people to cannons is starting to be out dated with remote piloted planes--we have used them quite accurately to surgically take out those who offend.
But I guess we will always have a need for door to door troops in the name of political correctness.
I just hate to see them go.
