A Songwriter in Arizona was listening to his SUV radio on the way home from work. While switching stations he picked up a broadcast of Folks calling in to talk about the Troops overseas.
He listened until the show ended and over the next several months, began to write a song about the experience. He later put together a slide show / video to go along with the song.
This is that Song and Video.

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. - Winston Churchill
“A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'” (Author unknown)

I stood up, I showed up, I stepped forward. I raised my right hand, I stood in the gap, I walked in the fire. I did not run, I did not hide, I did not dodge, I did not evade.
Consequently...
I have nothing to prove, no one to convince, those who matter, already know. Those who don't, never will. (Author Unknown)

Awesome video Lew!!
That's really good. It's a true-blue antidote to daily Bay Area swipes at the military (and also to down on America whiny country/folk singers like John Prine....).
