This song, "Fanfare for the Common Man" was not written for soldiers or royalty or anyone of high station. It was written for the common men, women and children of the day. Many who suffered at the hands of fomentors of war and hatred and who had no protection against the war machines and weapons that have killed millions since World War 1 onwards. For once, someone actually wrote a song for the common men, women and children who deserve just as much respect

@Chuckles123thefish Soldiers are not like "royalty or anyone of high station," so why you would choose to equate them with such is a mystery to me. Soldiers ARE - with few exceptions - common men and women, no different than the civilians they defend with their lives on a daily basis. The men who stormed the beaches of Normandy weren't kings, they were, by and large, the sons of coal miners, farmers, shop keepers and dock workers. You would do well to remember that.

People can disrespect politicians on their decisions all they like, but when people are disrespectful towards soldiers... well that I can't stand.

Edward - What a great tribute to all the wars fought - for freedom. Wonderful job.

Great video! The people that defend our freedom come from " all walks of life". They are truly the common man/woman. People do not realize that there are over 100 wars going on in this world today.... many we do not hear about on the news. We have military personnel making sacrifices in the smallest of countries and in the most unhospitable places on this earth. They do this voluntarily and with pride in order to provide freedom for " all walks of life"... the common man.

These people, thrust into the role of righteouss protection of our most sacred gift. Freedom. And this freedom is not free, it has a cost, and that cost is sacrifice. Sacrifice that no one can understand. They can only feel it.
