continues today. Songs have honored Veterans of WWI, WWII,

 Words of Fire...Deeds of Blood
by Robbie Robertson (Large: 3.8MB)
"Perhaps you think the
Creator sent you here to dispose of us as you see fit. If I
thought you were sent by the Creator, I might be induced to
think you had a right to dispose of me. Do not misunderstand
me, but understand me fully with reference to my affection for
the land.I never said the land was mine to do with as I
choose.The One who has the right to dispose of it is the One
who has created it. I claim the right to live on my land and
accord you the privilege to return to yours." |
