Ssgt Barry Sanders Ballad of the Green Berets comes to mind, it always made me feel proud ... and most importantly, thank them, and then thank them again ... and if you haven't been clear about it, thank them again ...
... this group of soldiers came back from war to jeers and ridicule, from a non-understanding public that could not possibly understand the mental and physical toll taken on many barely mature individuals in Southeast Asia, and from a war that the public wanted to forget, but the soldiers never would ... a society that has never really accepted the sacrifices made by a group of individuals and their families, nor has ever rightly thanked them enough ... fortunately, times have changed ... soldiers are now applauded, and given parades in their honor at the time of their return, and is rightly so ...
... in case I didn't mention it, it doesn't matter a lot what you play, but music from their day would be a great idea, but it is probably less important to remind them, than it is to thank them ... and then thank them again ... and then, once again, just in case they missed it the first few times ... but be sincere please .. thank you
