Today is Memorial Day, a day in the States where we honor and remember those who gave their lives for our country and our freedom. I have family and friends that have served in the US Armed Forces, mostly the Marines Corps. Both my grandfathers and my dad were marines, and today I wanna say thank you to all that have given your lives for the USA. I also wanna send love and thanks to the families of those who serve as well because your job is a hard one too.
Here are a few of my favorite Armed Force-ish themed songs. Sorry if you don’t like country music, but hey, there aren’t many hip-hop American loving songs out there…..
Toby Keith “Call a Marine”
Dixie Chicks “Travelin’ Soldier”
Toby Keith “American Solider”
Big & Rich “8th of November”
Tim McGraw “If You’re Reading This”
“Amazing Grace” (Marine’s Final Salute)” (bagpipes) *tissue warning*
Lee Greenwood “God Bless the U.S.A.”
*wipes eyes*
On a happier note, today is also my son’s 8th birthday, and even though he can’t read this blog, I will play the music for him.
Happy Birthday Xman! You are my most favorite person in the whole wide world. Mama loves you!!
