World Debut "Once we were Warriors Original Veteran's Day 2010 Military Tribute"

Join me TunesNorth, as we pay tribute to our military,
on this Veteran's Day 2010.

I wrote this song after my recent visit to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall in DC.

This was an unforgettable experience, and the inspiration for this song.

Dedicated to the more than 50,000 Fallen Warriors,
our Brothers and Sisters of Arms.

They have earned our respect, honor and appreciation.
May they rest forever in the arms of a Grateful Nation.


 





Most of the images were taken during our recent trip.
The pictures of the Traveling Wall were taken here in Sault Ste. Marie
several years a go.
The Brothers at the wall are two members of the Michigan Chapter
of the Forgotten Eagles!

I salute all my fellow Veteran's, be they Army, Air Force, Marine Corps,
Navy, National Guard, and last but certainly not least
The US Coast Guard.

I have very strong personal ties to the Coast Guard.
I wrote and performed the song "Cutter Mackinaw"
at the Decommissioning Ceremony held here in
Sault Ste. Marie. The Captain and crew were very pleased
with the song. I was given a tour, and presented with a ball cap.
Not the kind the crew wear, but a Captains Hat complete with
the "scrambled eggs" on the brim. I was very honored to receive this
hat from the last presiding Captain of the old
USCG Cutter Mackinaw.
The Guardian of the North!

I proudly wear this hat here, and in several other videos.

"Once we were Warriors"
(lyrics)

I don't know how things got this way.
It's not the way I had it planned.
It seemed so clear when we were young,
And now I lay me down to sleep,
How will you live without your man.

Don't cry for me, I'm not alone.
They've carved our names here on this wall.
Think of us, from time to time, and let them know
Once we were Warriors,
Now we are names here on the wall.

I have my brothers, and my brothers all have me.
We fought and died for one and all.
And now forever we will stand here side by side.
Once we were Warriors,
Now we are names here on the wall.

If I could, you know I'd turn this world around
Change the things that we have done
And for all it's worth I hope forever you will know
You have always been the one.

I have my brothers, and my brothers all have me.
We fought and died for one and all.
And now forever we will stand here side by side.
Once we were Warriors,
Now we are names here on the wall.

Once we were Warriors,
Now we are names here on the wall.

I wish to thank my many friends and subscribers.
I am so honored by the fantastic response
And the comments I have received.

Thank you for watching my video.
Have a wonderful day!

Take care,
