@ 0eyese....Wow!

As I remember it, Jimmy Webb wrote this song because he visited a graveyard outside of the USA for American soldiers buried in the 1800s and most of the headstones had the deceased soldiers' hometown as Galveston, Tx

Glen Campbell sang it right the first time!

I'm proud to call my self a Galvestonian. Not many people on the island like it here but just don't see it's true beauty. I love my island and always will B.O.I. for life!! :)
Amazing song too :D

@guarddog22 Back then Vietnam was a very taboo thing with the public.

The album I saw had Glen campbell dressed as a World War One Doughboy I think Glenn or the record companies had this in mind when he sang this song anyway, Vietnam and all, had such a negative symbolism for the civilian public.
The troops no doubt saw it from a whole different perspective.

@Ogorek69 Hi Ogorek : Then poor Jimmy must be getting soft in the head because that goes against everything he's been saying up to now.

Respond to this video..Hey Guarddog - Jimmy was on CBS Sunday Morning July 31, and he said it was about Vietnam'

I'm not sure. This is not a new recording however, probably from the Blue CD/Golden Road Era.
