There have been many a song penned by many a writer. I cannot listen to Our National Anthem without a silent tear escaping. I mostly listen to country, but "Silver Wings" has always been among my favorites, RIP Merle: you gave us all you had. Johnny Cash "This Ragged Flag" speaks for itself. Who hasn't heard "Green Berets" and been moved? Newer is David Ball's "Private Malone."There are plenty more but at the moment I have a bit of brain fog so I am asking you. Any decade, any genre. If you have a reason, include it. Some days I just want to get lost in the music. Music Heals.

This one is hard to listen to without breaking apart. Not sure why it has such an impact.

"How Great Thou Art, that saved a wretch, like me, I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see" are the most familiar words, but the next verses are worth the listen. And played by bagpipes is traditionally reserved for those who served.

They did this at my uncles graveside funeral; they were also doing the 21 gun salute and I was balling my eyes out and trying to hold my salute.

Did for my dad last year. He died on New Years Day. One day before his first Great grandson was born.

SSG(P) Christopher Erickson - I grew up listening to SSG Barry Sadler over and over. In fact I still listen to him as I have the album on my iPhone. The Ballad of the Green Berets is what made me and my twin brother join the Army in 1969. Like SSG Sadler, we dropped out of HS in tenth grade and enlisted on our 17th birthday. We thought we'd go Airborne Green Beret all the way but being young and lacking any prior discipline those plans went out the window. Much respect SSG Erickson.

SSgt Dan Montague, at SF Phase 1 at Camp Mackall (APR-MAY70), the instructors made us come to attention and sing the Ballad of the Green Berets on the mornings that we started the day in a classroom setting! SSG Barry Sadler is buried in the Nashville National Cemetery, and I've been to his grave to pay my respects. SSG(P) Christopher Erickson SFC William Farrell Maj Kim Patterson

The "Fulfilled Desire" is classical but you would have to be a nerd or married to a nerd to know where the music comes from. All the music is from the video game Final Fantasy VII.
