Rolf, I don't know you. But, Beth I do know you, you sweet mentor you. This should be on a new "Best of Beth" album. You know me, I like story songs. And we can't beat the factual ones. Great job, both of you, and thanks for inviting all of us to comment. This is good stewardship of history. (See you, I hope, in Oct. and Nov. when I'm up that way for an extended stay.)
Peace,

Very moving and thought-provoking. I wonder what the field would look like if there were more flags, of other colors, representing all the people whose lives were affected by the soldiers' lives - and deaths. I saw a display where I live in which there was a pair of shoes or boots for each person who had been killed in the war. So hard to look at - placing something tangible in front of people makes them face the reality of war. - Lynda

Yes, it would be interesting to see a flag for every fatality of every nationality involved in this war. It would be a big field.

I like the song and the idea. Maybe I missed the point or more specifically which side this song lands on.
If the idea is to make you think without the song putting you on one side or the other it is a job well done.
Very thoughtful and good metaphor.

What a beautiful song and video. I had wondered what happened to this awesome display. Please thank the Benders for their efforts to honor our fallen troops.

VeI think the words tell the story well and lend themselves to easy memorization as protest songs and union songs are want to do. I enjoyed the singer's voice and the emotion he was able to bring to the words. As a video I think it was an excellent collaboration. The written words brought together with the singer and the pictures do tell a very emotional story.

This is a great video and I really like the song. I am sharing it with all my friends and posting it on my utube site as well. Says everything I believe eloquently. Thank your Beth for using your talent to speak for so many in an honorable way. PEACE. rkj

By itself, the video is - simply put - elegant.

The words and music are so beautiful as to be almost hypnotic. I can't get "3613" out of my head.
The written text in the video and the words of the song told just enough of the story to explain - with great simplicity - what you were seeing. There was nothing extraneous - nothing to detract from the beauty of what you were hearing and seeing.
Really quite brilliant.
