John Flynn's "Dover"

"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

Amazing! Incredibly powerful, as are so many of John's songs. It's a crime that every radio station in America doesn't play songs like this!
