SOME GAVE ALL...

[nastygunz]

Im a big Billy Ray Cyrus fan, for his singing and his many, many efforts on behalf of veterans, and this is one of his best songs which I always find particularly apt on this weekend:

SOME GAVE ALL

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free

I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cries
As he said these words to me

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all

Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo through out our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man

Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died America can't you see

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all

Some gave all

Boy that song is ancient.
Billy stands out to me too, but mostly for what he's done for that girl of his to make sure she stays on the straight and arrow. And he has done an awesome job.
