OT: Memorial Day Music Thread

The Caisson Song “(Over hill, over dale, we have hit the dusty trail, as those caissons go rolling along”).

Some might recognize the melody from “The Army Goes Rolling Along”. That is BS. The Army co-opted the melody, and rewrote the lyrics, from my beloved Field Artillery.
It will always be the true anthem of we Redlegs.

Glen's upbeat hit takes you through the thoughts of a solider. As he watches the cannons flash and cleans out his gun, his mind takes him back to his hometown of Galveston, Texas.

George himself served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the '50s, making his song about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial even more meaningful. Whether you've visited the memorial, you'll be able to perfectly picture the engravings while listening to this track.

Julie Miller and Emmylou Harris. That's a whole lot of beautiful, haunting vocals.

Opening bagpipes and Scottish accents in “We Were Soldiers”. This song was sung by Joseph Klina McKenzie to honor his Grandfather who died in the World War I.
