"Dover" was written by John Flynn as a response to the US policy of not letting the caskets of fallen American soldiers be photographed as they returned home. He felt it was wrong that the cost of the war was being hidden and that the sacrifices of these brave men and women were not being acknowledged. It was written around the time of the 1,000th US Military death in the Iraq war.
This song is a tribute to those who make the ultimate sacrifice in their duty to our country.
Performance at North American Folk Alliance Feb 2006 Austin, TX

I work at Dover AFB and it is one of my jobs- the main mission here- to return these heroes with the utmost dignity honor and respect. We provide a police escort for them. I have taken part in many, and every single time I get chills and tears come to my eyes. It's very heartfelt, especially when I think of this song while the ceremony is taking place.
