MP3 of the Week

It's Memorial Day, a day to remember all of the fallen soldiers who have served our country over the years. Having grown up in the army, I've been to a few miliary funerals and I have always found the sound of Taps to be incredibly powerful and moving.

This mp3 (from war-veterans.org) is only 1 minute 15 seconds. Give it a listen and remember all who have fallen in the service of our country.

Not to be controversial (I have the utmost respect for people´s grief), but how about remembering all fallen soldiers, regardless of nationality and side? In Italy, for the last few years we started commemorating the deads from both sides in the Second World War, and I think it´s an attitude that reinforce unity, not division.
So, my suggestion is, give a tought to the Americans, the Vietnameses, the Iraqis, the Italians, the Germans... and (even if it´s an impossibility) hope that no one will have to die for his country in the future.

Are you talking about soldiers who have been killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, South America, etc.?

All places where your country used aggression and super duper military force to promote its impiralistic agenda?

Thanks but no thanks.
