I'd not seen this before, but I like it.

War is not a good thing, but those who serve their country in war and peace deserve, in my opinion, respect and thanks.

My family doesn't have a long tradition of peacetime service, but my Paradise grandfather and his brother served in the Great War, and my father and his brothers served in World War Two. Spoors served in the Civil War, in the War of 1812, and in the Revolution. My thoughts were with them this morning, with the other veterans who have given so much, and to those now serving.

Thank you, service men and women, past and present. At the best of times, you give up a great deal and get little enough recognition. And this is hardly the best of times.

Glad you like it. It's a great song, and he really nailed the issue.
