On this day, we remember and celebrate all of the brave men and women who have served our great country, all giving some, and some giving all. The country salutes you and thanks you. As with many things in my life, there is a soundtrack. All of those include Jon Oliva (Im a huge fan of his, in case that wasnt apparent). Here is a live version of Firefly off of the 2008 Global Warning record. Beautiful song. Hope you give it a few minutes while you are reflecting on our veterans. As we live our lives like... a flicker of star light On these battle fields... the smell of death is real In fear of attack in a night cold and black Show me where I can run... Where no one carries a gun The enemy lines Im now caught behind Favor neither a side... Show me a place I can hide... This firefly Try to understand this war Wasnt in my plans... no The fight for freedom and liberty Will go on indefinitely... I know My Life, my home is where I belong Tell me why must this be An unsolved mystery Lives have been lost, whos adding the cost Broken families, left only with memories of fireflies Now were facing annihilation, the end to all we know Devastation soon replacing the end to all we grow Cant you see the power and greed Thats sure to doom us all They wont rest, now all thats left Is for the world to fall Now I can see my opponents as scared as me I know he feels inside all those things we try to hide The fighting must cease for the world to have peace Live and let live I believe See what its like to be free You may just find that somewhere in time Together we all will be To live out eternity... as fireflies https://youtube/watch?v=tP5pzkDU8Ug
