Let's Take a Moment to Remember Those Who Served

As you dodge the raindrops, and blow on the hot coals to fire up the grill, let's take a moment to remember those who served so valiantly. I have become more "anti-war" as I have gotten older and think that the exercise of military power as an extension of national goals is an evil we should renounce. Maybe WWII and Korea where the last of the "Good Wars?" I do know that the US spends as much on it's military budget as the next 28 countries combined. And 27 of them are US allies. Insane.

Anyway, here are ten Memorial Day songs, courtesy of the Nation magazine with some cool, more obscure selections.

Ten Memorial Day Songs

Top of the list?

The Great Loretta Lynn with "Dear Uncle Sam."


Next up, Bill Withers "I Can't Write Left-Handed."
