More than a name....................

[Skyshark]

This is one of my favorite songs about remembering Veterans. I am sure you could actually find the Statler Broterhs singing it on you tube but unfortunately you tube s blocked at my work. Here are the lyrics.

More than a name on a wall by the Statler Brothers.

MORE THAN A NAME ON A WALL

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,
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 coming home to me

And 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

But Lord could you tell him,
He's more than a name on a wall..

Lord could you tell him,
He's more than a name on a wall..

A moving tribute

I lost several friends who are immortalized on "The Wall".

I lost several friends who are immortalized on "The Wall".

I read this and thought about the twelve friends of mine who are on that wall, then it occurred to me, every name on that wall was a friend......
