Thank you my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs for sharing Still a Soldier by Trace Adkins.
Poignant lyrics. I served from November 11, 1974 to May 28, 2008. I was honored a few times and dishonored more. I served this nation in good and bad times and weathered the storms of discontent.
I am grateful and thankful that I survived to become a retired U.S. Army soldier.
Still a Soldier by Trace Adkins
Lyrics
"He's got a corner lot on Dogwood Drive
A year old truck and a nine to five

He'll sleep in on Saturday
Cut the grass if it don't rain
After church he'll watch the game
And have a beer or two
He'll stand up
When he hears the anthem
And that won't ever change
He's still a soldier
His blood runs red, white and blue
He put away his gun and boots
But he still believes
The American Dream
'Til his last breath he'll always be
A soldier
He's still a soldier
He's on his couch for the news at ten
He'll see those places that he's been
And when a brother falls
there's a part of him that does too
And if they called and needed him back
Oh, he'd be on that plane
He's still a soldier
His blood runs red, white and blue
He put…"

Saw him at the Grand Ole Opry, he sang Arlington. Awesome. I would love to see him with the West Point Chorus performing Til the Last Shots Fired.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs: Mikel, I phoned my local Army Recruiters Office; and, the Sergeant there advised me that I could not re-enter the Army.

SPC Margaret Higgins - Probably because of the age Margaret, but if there were ever a t time that United States was under attack, there is no doubt in my mine that our 22 million veterans would rise up against any enemy foreign or domestic, take up arms and defend this nation. That is what I was referring to in my statement. Hope that makes sense.
