two songs for veterans day

this tune by huey lewis & the news from their 'Sports' LP circa 1983 was written & recorded about vietnam vets.  i think this is a damn fine song about those men [& women] who served in that conflict.  larger still, this song can extend to all veterans of all our wars & police actions.  i am a life-long pacifist but i do believe that we have a duty to all our men & women who served this nation.  another thing as well.  huey lewis took his last name in honor of his stepfather, the great poet lew welch.  

this song by CCR might be the greatest anti-war song recorded.  arguably.  at any rate, 'fortunate son' has come to be an honorific for all those who, again, served in vietnam.  but also, it is for all our vets who, again, i say, deserve our highest duty re medical care, education, job training etc etc.  if you are asked to serve & potentially sacrifice your life in service of our nation then our nation has an obligation to take care of our veterans.  i say this as a hippie-punk pacifist.  fuck war.  honor our vets.
