What a WOMAN!

I really do belive in her.

She has sufferd a lot for her political points of view.

Not very many know that she also is the songwriter of "Up where we belong" and "Until it is time for you to go".

Powerful video.

Powerful message.

Poverful performance.

This video should be much more popular. To see Buffy Sainte-Marie perform her mesterpiece in front of these veterans is wonderful. Her message is as relevant today, as it were back in the 70's.

This video is my nr.1 favorite on YouTube. Thanks for sharing!

(I just checked "Statistics and data" for this video, and it makes me proud that it's absolutly most popular in my remote corner of the world; in NORWAY.)

Buffy, you made the veterans around you teary -eyed inside and proud of themselves as well. Even if you're not with them when they are on the battlefield, for sure they remember your songs. Kudos!

As a young soldier on my way to Vietnam in 1968, I first heard this song. Maybe it made a difference in how I conducted myself and how I saw the "enemy". By the time I had been in Nam for about two years, and had become a platoon Sgt, I knew my objective was to save American and Vietnamese lives. I wasn't always sucessful, but I hope I helped. You never want to see something like the Wall, look at it, and can't remember a single name. Only in your nightmares.

As long as small groups of underhanded, manipulative people are allowed to steer public opinion -- for their own ulterior motives, regardlless of the truth and without consequences -- nations will slaughter the peoples of other nations.

There will always be some reason -- they'll come up with one.

The war makers get obscenely rich, the grunts fight and die, and the politicians beat the drums of war -- because they're told to.

Our hidden puppet masters wouldn't have it any other way.

Why is it that Canada has a day of remembrance? Is it to horning these glorified murders? Only a sick nations would have a day to remember the glorified murders.
