I think it would be better if a country sing performed this song, then at least you could understand the words. But, hey, it's the thought that counts

CPT Jack Durish
Taps is all I ever knew and all I ever cared about. Would like it played at my wake. Won't have a funeral. The good citizens of California are standing in the way of a Veterans Cemetery for my home country (Orange) and don't want my family traipsing all hells half acre to visit my grave once every ten years until they stop thinking about it

CPT Jack Durish true. Dad fought on Iwo Jima, lost his best friend as the troop transport must have hit a mine. It went down with all hands.
Dad was promoted to Sgt on the battlefield & the Marines asked him to come back when Vietnam started to heat up. He said no & I'm grateful. I don't think he'd have lived through a second War & he was no longer a kid.

CPT Jack Durish I grew up walking in cemeteries. I wouldn't mind being in one, but Hubster wants to be cremated. W all the garbage to pay for, funerals are outrageous. Concrete boxes, expensive coffins, rent the bldg for people to listen to the priest.
Locally, when hard rock miners die, most haven't darkened a church door thru out their adult life. So, the family grabs a name of some preacher who thinks it's might be his only chance to harangue the congregation & goes off.
I'll never attend another. That's a very good way to harden hearts.
I did actually get up during one funeral & tell the preacher he was out of line. He's listened to first wife (hated the decedent) & second wife (better) & decided he had to satisfy both.

"Unbroken" lyrics
Bon Jovi Lyrics
Listen to music like Bon Jovi
live near Spring Creek
"Unbroken"
I was born to be of service
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
I had honor, I found purpose
Sir, yes, sir, that's what I know
They sent us to a place
I'd never heard of weeks before
When you're 19 it ain't hard to sleep
In the desert on God's floor
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
You ain't in boot camp anymore
We were taught to shoot our rifles
Men and women side by side
Thought we'd be met as liberators
In a thousand-year-old fight
I got this painful ringing in my ear
From an IED last night
But no lead-lined Humvee war machine
Could save my sergeant's life
Three more soldiers, six civilians
Need these words to come out right
God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hoping
That we can be unbroken
It's eighteen months now I've been stateside
With this medal on my chest
But there are things I can't remember
And there are things I won't forget
I lie awake at night
With dreams the devil shouldn't see
I want to scream but I can't breathe
And, Christ, I'm sweating through these sheets
Where's my brothers? Where's my country?
Where's my how-things-used-to-be
God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hoping
That we can be unbroken
My service dog's done more for me
Than the medication would
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me
But even if they could
Today twenty-two will die from suicide
Just like yesterday, they're gone
I live my life for each tomorrow
So their memories will live on
Once we were boys and we were strangers
Now we're brothers and we're men
Someday you'll ask me "Was it worth it
To be of service in the end?"
Well, the blessing and the curse is
Yeah, I'd do it all again

The band wrote about this song on Twitter on the 30th of October 2019, "Our new song, #Unbroken, was written for the documentary 'To Be of Service' about the lives of veterans and their service dogs. All proceeds from your downloads will go to the Patriotic Service Dog Foundation. Out Friday, November 1 at midnight ET." The documentary was directed by Josh Aronson.
According to Aronson Films' website, "'To Be of Service' is a feature-length documentary film about war veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) who are paired with a service dog to help them regain their lives. These vets' experience of returning home is often wrought with depression and a wrenching disconnect from the world they once inhabited."

CPT Jack Durish It's rough & brutal & full of despair. Isn't that expressive of what many vets go through? I pray for them, that they come thru the darkness & find Light. For God comforts the wounded & struggling, if we're willing to risk it. For so many, dying is easier than living & it makes me weep. I don't know how to reach them when they don't want to hear.
My Dad was an atheist. He believed that everyone he'd trusted had betrayed him. Often, it was true. And, he lived in a very black & white world. If he gave his word, he kept it. He expected the same, but corporations have no soul.
I can only pray that in his last moments, he recognized God's Face & Love.

Sorry about the extraneous garbage at the end of the lyrics. I couldn't delete them.
