Statler Brothers - More Than A Name On A Wall

Thank you, my friend CPL Dave Hoover for sharing the music video of the Statler Brothers performing "More Than A Name On A Wall" with poignantly appropriate video background.

"More Than A Name On A Wall" lyrics written by Jimmy Fortune.
Lyrics
"I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall
In her hand she held some flowers as her tears began to fall
And she took out pen and paper as to trace her memories
And she looked up to heaven and the words she said were these

She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
And oh I'd love to see him just one more time you see
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall
So Lord could you tell him that he's more than a name on a wall

She said he really missed the family and being home on Christmas day
And he died for God and country in a place so far away
I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three
But Lord this time I know he's not comin' home to me

She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
And oh I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be
So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall
So Lord could you tell him that he's more than a name on a wall"

Awesome music share.

The older I get the more I question what the government imposes on the governed. When I was younger I just complied and felt good about it, but now- - - well - - - - -
