I am fifteen now and my dad showed me this today for a project. This bring's tears to my eyes. He was only nineteen and he must have seen such horrors before he died. I am proud to be Irish and now more then ever I am proud to be a McBride.

@cloudedstar85 Thanks a lot young McBride, your tears mean a lot to me - we shed a tear when we made it.

Good luck with the project.

Peace and love, man, peace and love, cheers,

Ron.

Hey Ron I haven't heard this since I was in primary school in 1987 and it reminded me of my older brother who joined the forces when I was very young and it made me sad each time he went back to camp after leave. Now hearing it again some 24 years later brings all the memories back of missing my big bro. Great rendition :-)

Thanks, Ezzer. Yes, I cried as I was making the recording with Dez, and a few times since, too.

Thanks for stopping by, cheers,

Ron.
