Military


A good song that made me sad

I am 18 years old and about to join the army. I have two uncles who fought, one of whom I believe was strengthened by the experience and can even joke about it from time to time. The other is a wreck. I love him, and he is a good man, but he is tormented by something that happened in another place, a long time ago. I don't know what(noboy but him does) but it ruined him. One day a friend showed me a song by a hip-hop artist named Eyedea, from MN, called A Murded of Memories. Although I hate rap(I like classic rock) I could not stop thinking of that song. It reminded me of my uncle. I downloded it from a file sharer, and I hope others can hear it. Have an open mind if you dislike rap as i do. It is a touching and poetic tribute to people who lost something in Vietnam.
