Bagpipes make the hairs on my arm stand up. Makes me wish I were Scottish in a Highland Regiment.

As a US Navy VIetnam veteran who's father fought in Europe, I tip my hat and bow in reverence to your grandfather; part of the Greatest Generation the world has known. Do you realize that people like your grandfather saved the world? Even though we span a generation, he is my brother in arms.

@celt1745 I'm not sure you're right but I do admit it is very difficult to find the tunes origins. As far as I know it is the tune "Bonapart's retreat" which descended from "The Eagle's Whistle".

@Celtefan - Moran taing. (Gaelic for merci!) I have left a comment on your other post (Over the Sea to Skye), which also has an interesting history.

My granddad was at sword beach and apparently this was played when they were going up the beach
