Went to my Father in Laws grave nearby and piped him over the side , had a prayer with him and a quick chat . He was an EN2 back in Viet Nam . Reply ↓
One of the saddest Memorial Day experiences I’ve had is walking THE WALL on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C. There are so many names, so many lives, and so many families back home. Some were personally known to me. Reply ↓
Several angry thoughts – best to not write them down. To the veterans gone before us, hand salute. Reply ↓
Hymn for Sgt MacKenzie. Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone When they come I will stand my ground Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid Thoughts of home take away my fear Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears Once a year say a prayer for me Close your eyes and remember me Never more shall I see the sun For I fell to a Germans gun Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Where before many more have gone In memory of Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie Seaforth Highlanders Who along with many others gave up his life So that we can live free We will remember them source: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/soundtracks/w/weweresoldierslyrics/sgtmckenzielyrics.html Reply ↓

Hymn for Sgt MacKenzie.
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone
In memory of Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie
Seaforth Highlanders
Who along with many others gave up his life
So that we can live free
We will remember them
