If you want to feel real somber about your Memorial Day and like a little Irish punk music (Dropkick Murphys), give these a listen.
Song's written based on a Marine's letter home a week before coming home from Iraq. The Marine mentions he'd love to have DKM play at his funeral when he dies. Sadly, they had the opportunity to do so.

I've taken care of a lot of heroes in my OR at Landstuhl, Germany when I was stationed there. It was an honor to help them on their way home...or sadly...along their way to meet their creator.
God Bless America
