Let's all pay a tribute to the soldier's that are fighting for us, have fought for us and maybe will again,

and to our favorite band who is actively aware of what is going on in the world today, and who I now agree with........it has been long enough......

bring our troops home......

In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

    Here's mine I posted this on Other Music.....*Disposable Heroes*....Master Of Puppets by Metallica.

    Everytime I hear this song I think of Pat Tillman and ALL our other fallen HEROES.

    Disposable Heroes


    Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
    No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
    running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
    Victim of what said should be
    a servant `til I fall


    Soldier boy, made of clay
    now an empty shell
    twenty one, only son
    but he served us well
    Bred to kill, not to care
    just do as we say
    finished here, Greeting Death
    he's yours to take away


    Back to the front
    you will do what I say, when I say
    Back to the front
    you will die when I say, you must die
    Back to the front
    you coward
    you servant
    you blindman


    Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
    sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
    More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
    bodies fill the fields I see
    the slaughter never ends


    Soldier boy, made of clay
    now an empty shell
    twenty one, only son
    but he served us well
    Bred to kill, not to care
    just do as we say
    finished here, Greeting Death
    he's yours to take away


    Back to the front
    you will do what I say, when I say
    Back to the front
    you will die when I say, you must die
    Back to the front
    you coward
    you servant
    you blindman

    Why, Am I dying?
    Kill, have no fear
    Lie, live off lying
    Hell, Hell is here


    I was born for dying


    Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
    had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
    Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
    left to die with only friend
    Alone I clench my gun


    Soldier boy, made of clay
    now an empty shell
    twenty one, only son
    but he served us well
    Bred to kill, not to care
    just do as we say
    finished here, Greeting Death
    he's yours to take away


    Back to the front
    you will do what I say, when I say
    Back to the front
    you will die when I say, you must die
    Back to the front
    you coward
    you servant
    you blindman


    Back to the front.




    Any others.

    Peace on this day of REMEMBRANCE!

    Granted they are mislead and misguided and misunderstood, but I sometimes wonder if they should be honored at all.

    -
    Angels on the sideline,
    Puzzled and amused.
    Why did Father give these humans free will?
    Now they're all confused.

    Don't these talking monkeys know that
    Eden has enough to go around?
    Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
    where there's one you're bound to divide it

    Right in two


    Angels on the sideline,
    Baffled and confused.
    Father blessed them all with reason.
    And this is what they choose.
    (and this is what they choose)
    Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
    Over pieces of the ground.

    Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
    They forge a blade,
    And where there's one they're
    bound to divide it,

    Right in two.
    Right in two.

    Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
    Over pieces of the ground.
    Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club
    And beat their brother down.

    How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
    Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
    to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

    cut it, divide it all right in two (x4)


    They fight, till they die
    Over earth, over sky
    They fight
    Over lies, over blood, over air
    And light, over love, over son
    Over blood
    They fight, till they die, over what? for our lies!

    Angels on the sideline again
    Benched along with patience and reason
    Angels on the sideline again
    Wondering when this tug of war will end

    cut it, divide it all right in two (x3)
    Right in two

    Right in two...

    anyone who goes in a place I would not have the courage to and risks their life for what they believe to be our best interest has to have my respect no matter what they are; misguided, mislead, it is all the same. I would be scared out of my mind if I were in Iraq.

    Yesterday here in Washington DC we had Rolling Thunder and many of the former Vets were so peaceful and appreciative. Even though we lost one VET who apparently drove off the George Washington Parkway into an embankment at the edge of the Potomac River and he has not been found as yet. A beautiful day but a sad occasion.

    I has two of those signitures as stickers on the back of my truck, many read and many liked them.
