JD- something tells me, that with all your other talents........I'd be satisfied if you played Taps at my funeral. Just hope not too soon, OK? Same response I gave to our HS music director at the Veterans Day program a year ago, after she and the choir sang the 'Ballad of the Green Berets', and the MC announced that a Nam vet told him that there is one GB in the audience, would he want to stand and be recognized? I told the director the same thing then, about how I want HER to play/sing that song at my funeral (we go to the same church).....just hopefully, not too soon! Interesting that before the program that same day, when we Vets were lining up, I told her that when she started that Vets program, I felt it was the first 'Thank you" I ever got.....30 years after serving. Today, we treat our Vets so much better, including my youngest daughter, currently in Afghanistan. She extended TWO years to get to finish her deployment! [Reply]   [No Email]
