I know,.. it's just that some people don't have a sense of humor.
There is a place for humour and this is not it.
Show some respect for Heaven's sake.

Damaged Eagle thought it was funny and it's not like I didn't already state that I think showing respect for veterans is important or that I'm mocking them or something. Stop trying to be a mod or my mom already because you're neither or neither are you even the OP.

I decided that I'll be back here tomorrow after Halloween is over since it's the next holiday then. (I'll probably start talking about Thanksgiving stuff as well though.)

Might be out of town.
I have a grandchild graduating bootcamp.

Hands down the BEST version I ever heard of this song. That would melt a statue's face!!! *Cheers and whistles*
Anyways, now that Halloween is over I can focus more on Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. Here are some of my favorite songs honoring those who have served. (Although I won't have my own thread on here until Veterans day itself.)
Sorry, I guess Arlington is more of a Memorial Day song but I still love it. Here's another really good one.

Keith seems like a nice guy but he ain't a Vet. Johnnie Cash was a Vet., Willie Nelson was a Vet, George Strait was a Vet, George Jones was a vet and Kris Christofferson was a vet.

What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmorland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
