Tonight I pay my brothers who have fallen and those of our family here on DU who have Family in harms way a tribute. Something Replugs have forgotten. May Our Troops come home to us safe and sound in body and mind.


Bring Them Home Now !

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE
words and music by Pete Seeger
performed by Pete Seeger and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

4. It was a night I will never forget

March 9th 0500 I was hit in Vietnam. My wife always was there. This was the first time for years I faced that date alone. I am very lucky to be here. They say I died three times that night. Four Years I laid up in Walter Reed. I remembered the Brothers that did not come home that night. War is pure Terror and should never be done on lies. 1969 was a very bad year for me.
