The Green Fields of France and the Foggy Dew

In honor of Veteran’s Day.

Enjoy.

Not all Vet’s are buried in places like Arlington.

Take a chance to walk around a local graveyard and find a soldier, sailer, marine, or airmen who was KIA or MIA.

I promise you will find a young man faster than you think.

He was probably 18 or 19 years old or so.

 

-Thanks for Listening

    I’ve always felt the Dropkick Murphy’s rendition of The Green Fields of France was the most impactful. But there’s something to be said for an acoustic duet; this one was really good.

      There are dozens of covers. This one appeared to be an official artist program run by Ireland.
