Title : Arlington
I never thought that this is where I'd settle down.
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown.
They gave me this plot of land,
Me and some other men, for a job well done.
There's a big White House sits on a hill just up the road.
The man inside, he cried the day they brought me home.
They folded up a flag and told my Mom and Dad:
"We're proud of your son."
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property.
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company.
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done.
I can rest in peace;
I'm one of the chosen ones:
I made it to Arlington.
I remember Daddy brought me here when I was eight.
We searched all day to find out where my grand-dad lay.
And when we finally found that cross,
He said: "Son, this is what it cost to keep us free."
Now here I am, a thousand stones away from him.
He recognized me on the first day I came in.
And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels,
And saluted me.
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property.
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company.
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done.
I can rest in peace;
I'm one of the chosen ones:
I made it to Arlington.
And everytime I hear twenty-one guns,
I know they brought another hero home to us.
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property.
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company.
We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done.
We can rest in peace;
'Cause we are the chosen ones:
We made it to Arlington.
Yeah, dust to dust,
Don't cry for us:
We made it to Arlington.

Lyrics for Song: Some Gave All
Lyrics for Album: Some Gave All
I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cries
As he said these words to me
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo through out our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died America can't you see
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all
Some gave all

In support of allied service personnel world-wide.
This sounds much better when sung (it's a dirge) but I don't know how to put it up like that.

Hats off to the soldiers.

Oh Minnie, I'm so sorry hon. Here you lost your nephew and I posted pics of my new one. I'm sorry, I didn't even think that may have struck a nerve.

No mel don't worry about it .I loved the pictures of your nephew.Babies are Gods way of showing all the good in the world.It's also Gods way of showing life goes on.You just gotta promise to post lots of pics of ypur nephew,son and daughters.I'm missing my nephew in law Chris .He was killed in Iraq in Febuary.His grave is in the cemetary I pass everyday and sometimes it's just very sad to know he's there.21 is too young to die.I got shit going on so I am easily sentimental and well you know  .Life will get better and that picture of your nephew proves it.I worried about you.It must kinda be an emotional tug of war.I know you love your nephew and are happy for the family but well .Bless you for thinking of me you have a sweet soul and I'm proud to consier you part of my family.
