5. Tears are falling

I've walked National Cemeteries--no, not the one at Arlington, the little, often forgotten ones. And every time I do, I cry. Cry for the fallen, cry for those who gave their last full measure for our country. This film reminded me of those times, and the feeling I get when I visit the national cemeteries.

6. And the scenes remain the same.

That ol' Devil, War, just rolls right through the ages, chewing up young men and rolling on to the next Party.

We have died for nothing for too goddam long, Brother.

on edit: It is with a heavy heart that I give this the 5th recommendation.

[Monkeyman]

7. Tom I have no Words all I can do is do it our way

[Stinky The Clown]

8. A haunting melody ... more so than even Danny Boy .....

..... which never fails to briong my old ass to tears.

There are nothing like pipes to stir a soul .... the sound seems to reasonate within one's head and chest.

[Greeby]

9. The song is called Sgt McKenzie

At the link is the tragic story of the Scottish WWI soldier that inspired it.
