It’s a great song, but not appropriate to the occaison.
Amazing Grace,
Danny Boy,
Onward Christian Soldiers (my late father’s favorite at any time)
and The Battle Hymn of the Republic, yes.
I don’t expect a Bloomberg lib to understand these things.
In his volume, “The Grand Alliance” Churchill mentions that when he and Roosevelt met in the North Atlantic, they had a Sunday Service on board HMS Prince of Wales.
Roosevelt asked Churchill to select the hymns and one of those was “Onward Christian Soldiers”. I later saw a video of the service and Churchill is singing it from heart and Roosevelt is using a hymnal.
Churchill mentions that within a few months most of those young sailor were dead.
That song would never be allowed in today’s PC world.
