Song based on the true story of a veteran who gave his eye witness of the battle of November 8, 1965.
For more about this battle during the Vietnam war, the 8th of November and Big and Rich's documentary presentation:

I was in a repo depo on November 8th waiting for transportation to the 173rd.
At the time I was unaware of the battle, but a day or so later I discovered my MOS had changed from Recon Scout to Infantry when I was dropped off in front of a tent for the 503rd Infantry.
I entered the tent and there were only about four other in it. When I asked what cot would be mine I was told to pick any empty one as their previous owners would not be returning.
And thus began my year in Viet Nam
Thank You .......
Glad you made it back to the world. Thank you for serving.
I missed being called by the skin of my nose. Vietnam was winding down just as I became eligible for the draft. My dad was Special Forces, and did three tours there.
Thank-you for your service and God Bless!
Thank you for your service to our country.
