~Favorite Sweet Songs ~
Lou Reed - Sweet Jane
Standing on the corner Suitcase is in my hand Jack is in his corset, and Jane is in her vest I'm in a rock 'n' roll band Ridin' in a Stutz bear cat, Jim Those were different times The poets they studied rules of verse And those ladies rolled their eyes You know you sweet Jane Oh now baby, sweet Jane Oh yes sweet Jane Now Jack, he is a banker And Jane, baby she is a clerk And both of them save their money honey When they come home from work Sittin' there by the fire The radio does play the classical music there, kid The march of the wooden soldiers And you can, you can hear Jack say You know he saying, "Sweet Jane Ooh baby, sweet Jane Ah yes sweet Jane" Some people like to go out dancing Whereas other people like us got to work Gotta watch me now and there's even some evil mothers They'll tell you life's just dirt That the pretty women never really faint That villains always blink their eyes That children are the only ones who blush And that life, life is just to die, but I want to tell you something Anyone who has ever had a heart Oh oh wouldn't turn around and break it half Anyone who has ever played a part They're not gonna turn around and hate it You know they're singin', "Sweet Jane Ah sweet Jane

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the Southland I miss Alabamy once again And I think it's a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Young sing about her Well, I heard ole Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they've been known to pick a song or two Lord they get me off so much They pick me up when I'm feeling blue Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama Oh sweet home baby Where the skies are so blue And the governor's true Sweet Home Alabama Lordy Lord, I'm coming home to you Yea, yea

RECOGNITION DAY
Until July 18, 1979, no commemoration was held to honor Americas POW/MIAs, those returned and those still missing and unaccounted for from our nations wars. That first year, resolutions were passed in the Congress and the national ceremony was held at the National Cathedral, Washington, DC. The Missing Man Formation was flown by the 1st Tactical Squadron, Langley AFB, Virginia. The Veterans Administration published a poster with the letters POW/MIA and that format was continued until 1982, when a black and white drawing of a POW in harsh captivity was used to convey the urgency of the situation and the priority that President Ronald Reagan assigned to achieving the fullest possible accounting for Americans still missing from the Vietnam War. For the next ten years, the various renditions of the American Eagle, by artist and Vietnam Veteran Tom Nielsen, came to symbolize Americas POW/MIAs and our nations efforts to bring them home.
National POW/MIA Recognition Day legislation was introduced yearly until 1995 when Congress opted to discontinue considering legislation to designate special commemorative days. Since then, the President has signed an annual proclamation. In the early years, the date was routinely set in close proximity to the Leagues annual meetings. In the mid-1980s, the American Ex-POWs decided that they wished to see the date established as April 9th, the date during World War II when the largest number of Americans were captured. As a result, legislation urged by the American Ex-POWs was passed covering two years, July 20, 1984, as initially proposed, and April 9, 1985, the latter of which had to be cancelled due to inclement weather, a concern that had been expressed with the proposed April 9th date.
The 1984 National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony was held at the White House, hosted by President Reagan. At this most impressive ceremony, the Reagan Administration balanced the focus to honor all returned POWs and renew national commitment to accounting as fully as possible for those still missing. Perhaps the most impressive Missing Man Formation ever flown was that year, up the Ellipse and directly over the White House.
Subsequently, in an effort to accommodate all returned POWs and all Americans still missing and unaccounted for from all wars, the League proposed the third Friday in September, a date not associated with any particular war, not in conjunction with any organizations national convention and a time when weather nationwide is usually moderate. Most national ceremonies have been held at the Pentagon; however, in addition to the July 20, 1984, White House ceremony noted above, the September 19, 1986, national ceremony was held on the steps of the U.S. Capitol facing the National Mall, also concluding with a flight of high performance military aircraft in Missing Man Formation.
National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremonies are now held throughout the nation and around the world on military installations, ships at sea, state capitols, at schools, churches, national veteran and civic organizations, police and fire departments, fire stations, etc. The Leagues POW/MIA flag is flown and the focus is to ensure that America remembers its responsibility to stand behind those who serve our Nation and do everything possible to account for those who do not return.
