China...Yugoslavia...no help?
Can't understand that, nope, not at all...
Glad you enjoyed the story of the Chuck Wagon Gang! They have been doing things like this for years--and have even been to Russia! The food is really good, too. BBQ with all the trimmings! Makes me hungry just to think about it!
I know I'm getting to this really late--but is Old Sarge supposed to be back with us sometimes tonight? That would be great!
So are you gonna get to go to the Chuck Wagon event? Sounds really cool!
I would love to but, no, I probably won't. They will be doing it in California and I doubt if I could get off from work to go. Plus I would probably have to go by myself--my hubby HATES to travel! Wouldn't it be great to see all of those heroes coming home to their families? I hope they have a follow-up story; I will post it if they do.
Two politically incorrect songs missing from this thread:
Don't Give Us A Reason_ by Hank Williams Jr.
This Ain't No Rag, It's A Flag_by Charlie Daniels Band
*I have the songs on my computer, but no way to share them!
and here's one of my favorites to salute the brave troops:
The Great Defenders
sung by Lee Greenwood
written by Dan Bradley
Hot spots brewing in a foreign land,
We count on you bein' there
24 hours around the clock,
Protectin' us everywhere
The more I get around this world,
The more I realize
That the greatest force found anywhere
is right before my eyes.
CHORUS:
(Oh) Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines (Hooah!)
You're the greatest show of strength
This world has ever seen,
Coast Guard, National Guard,
Along with the Reserves,
We salute our Nations best
Standing ready Proud to Serve
You're the Great Defenders of the U.S.A.
You're the Great Defenders, workin' while we play,
Champions of freedom,
This song goes out to you,
You're the Great Defenders of the red, white and blue.
There's pride when you display our colors
Keep your promise true,
If someone messes with Old Glory
They have to answer to you
And the more I get around this world
The more I realize,
That the greatest force found anywhere
Is right before my eyes.
CHORUS:
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines ( (Hooah!)
You're the greatest show of strength
This world has ever seen,
Coast Guard, National Guard,
Along with the Reserves,
We salute our Nations best
Standing ready Proud to Serve
You're the Great Defenders of the U.S.A.
You're the Great Defenders, workin' while we play,
Champions of freedom,
This song goes out to you,
You're the Great Defenders of the red, white and blue.
You're the Great Defenders of the U.S.A.
You're the Great Defenders of the U.S.A....
