God Bless the men and women who serve. 'The Big Parade' still rings true today, even though it was written shortly after the Great War that ended on November 11, 1918.
I wish life could be as simple and as sweet for our heroes as this next song from 1918 depicted the war in France. One of my high school teachers served in an anti-arcraft artillery unit in England during WWII. The personal experience he shared with us about war was his uncle, a WWI vet. The uncle lived with my teacher's family while he was growing up. The uncle's life was a constant struggle to cough up stuff from his lungs, and fighting for breath, because he was gassed while he was in France. Don't forget; thank a veteran!
