I just wanted to share with you two versions of a medley that moves me every time I hear it. Many of you have heard it as well. Usually, it is played on Memorial Day, but it just seemed appropriate for the Fourth of July as well because without the service of these men and women our independence wouldn’t have been gained, secured, or protected all these years.
The first versions recognizes those who have served. The second has the words in case you wonder what they are singing. I believe the army has changed their lyrics from “caissons” to “army.” As the oldest branch of the military, they probably did need to update their lyrics a bit.
Enjoy, remember, be thankful.
