Ike Hall was my husband's uncle. You will never know how wonderful and touching it was to find this video on you tube. We were able to show it to my father-in-law (Ike's brother), it was really special. Thank you! PS - if you are able to let me know a way to obtain this video, other than via you tube, that would be great (my father-in-law doesn't use a computer). Thanks again!

Another thank you from a two tour vet starting out of camp evans in 68. beautiful song, i knew who the statesmen were in general, i did not know one of them died in vietnam. now my son is i afghanistan as a medevac pilot with the 101st.

war is not the bill of goods we are sold, even a marine general stated back in the days of roosevelt that soldiers were there to enforce the rules of corporations. that was said before i was born.

Pianist Everett Reece was our pianist at the church I pastored in Davis, California, in the 1980s. Everett, we will miss you.
