Kevin Costner has a band and he can sing

It's Memorial Day weekend here in the States...it's all red White and Blue...

and it's that time we are supposed to remember those who gave all.

Living right in the middle of where so much of The Civil War was fought

this reminds one that it wasn't so long ago that there was a war here

and as they say in the South

It wasn't very Civil!!

There is a house in Fredericksburg that was used as a hospital

we went there once and I stood in the window of one of the rooms

that still looks out over the river and the banks where so many were slaughtered

and read a book in which a nurse wrote her thoughts and feelings

 the night before a battle

 about the men she tended to that night

they all went back out  the next day and only a  few returned to her care

there are still too many battlefields in this world

....................

this song is very sad...but it's pretty in its simplicity and it makes you wonder

when can the angels stop coming down...
