Soldiers Last Letter - (Ernest Tubb Cover) SFC Jeff Cooper

My Dad actually first played this for me when I was knee high to a grasshopper, he was a WWII vet and I liked the song ever since, actually I like this version the best. Hope I did it justice. It's for all the troops and their families or survivors, and Moms. The picture at the part saying "Mom, I Love You" is that of Keith M. Maupin. A soldier in Iraq captured in 2004, his body was found and returned home early in 2008, executed by his captors. Remember the Sullivan brothers in WWII? Five sons lost on one ship in the same battle..

I grew up in Tasmania the little island beneath Australia n country music was all I ever heard until I was a teenager but am happy to say its all I really listen to even now but my children laugh at me trying to sing some of the old songs I have not sang n played for so many years to them its a joke ....the story line in those old songs

This one and Dear Uncle Sam were played a lot when I was growing up. I was the last one to get drafted during Nam in my family so they all had meaning for us...
