Great song that expresses the sentiment of many veterans of combat. Those who haven't served and been in armed conflict with an armed enemy will never fully understand or appreciate the message of this song. When I was a kid and knew veterans of WW I and WW II who had drinking problems I never understood that many of those problems were due to the horrors these men experienced while serving our country in times of war. Now, having served also, I better understand their problems. May God bless all of our combat Veterans.
First time hearing. Patriotic song. Gen. Douglas MacArthur was a WWII hero. Ended the war with Japan. Y'all know. Appropriate for Veterans Day. Thanks, WB, May God keep you safe and Blessed. 🌹👍🌹
Good history lesson you delivered there. I guess there will always be plenty of Veterans that got a raw deal...this was in 1976 and we still see it today...always a lot of lip service and saluting and then never a follow up
