thank you. I may not have always agreed with your commander-in-chief throughout my lifetime, but I'm aware and grateful that your efforts have helped preserve my right to express that opinion (amongst many others).

Happy Veterans Day.

Shiv, FrestStart... those are the only ones I know of.

Thanks, guys.

You know there's still one surviving American soldier from WWI? A 107 year old guy in West Virginia. Today's fun fact.

Okay, so...
The last time that I played this one out, I had two soldiers come up to me and thank me for writing the song. I was stunned. And humbled.
So, I'm thinking that it's probably appropriate — and okay — to post this here.

Again, thank YOU, Vets.

"Say You Will (A Reluctant Soldier's Plea)"

Quote:
1.
In the dark, pre-dawn morning
We wait for the bus
As the sun slowly comes
Feelings overcome us
I'll be oceans away
But I'm always close by

2.
I'll be back in a year
If I survive the fight
I will do what I'm told
Because I'm told that it's right
But when "right" seems so wrong
Well, I know I ain't right

3.
Now I'm going off to fight
For the ones that I'll kill
If I come home with blood
On my hands that I've spilled
Please take them in your hands
Because I'll love you still...

Say you will
Say you will

tip of my hat to all veterans. Since moving to South Korea I've meet many soliders stationed here and most have been fantastic to hang out with, though there are have been a few assholes as well.

On this, Armistice Day, I can think of no more appropriate word than SACRIFICE
