Thanks for all your kind comments, I am surprised how a song can transport us through the time-tunnel. Hugs oscarelmexicanopics.blogspot.c­om/

Thank you Rev. Burns for this video.

John Lennon sang about peace in "Imagine" but, then he was a dreamer.........

For as long as the human race with its multitudes of political, financial, selfish, military, and religious agendas exists, there will never be peace.

@tegeirsagent You have to be on drugs. Both Bushes were 2 of the finest presidents this country ever had. Yeah, I know...all you burnt-out hippies are gonna lay into me, now. I suppose you think Clinton and Barrak were/are good. You shit-kids don't know nuthin. Join the Army or Marines and you might change your mind. They probably wouldn't take you anyway. No queers.

@bronsonski52 A 1921 silent movie about a minister was called "The Sky Pilot" further proving that this term was used well before vietnam. Also interesting is that the single " Sky Pilot" was the first single made in stereo. I also remember this song being banned in New York. A great war protest song showing the hypocrisy of religion-THOU SHALL NOT KILL.-as related to chaplains blessing soldiers.

@hreed62 - The first time I played this single in the 1960's my father who served in the 2nd world war told me that was what the chaplains were called in his day-he should know-he loved the bagpipes. I thought a sky pilot was a pilot-thanks to him i knew better.
