Memorial Day Tribute: 50,000 Names

 





A moving tribute to our American heroes of the Vietnam War
 by country music legend George Jones.

 I remember visiting the Vietnam Wall in the summer of 1987. Next to 
   the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor which I visited the same year,
this black granite wall is one of the saddest places I have ever been.

To those whose names are carved on this wall, you are gone
from this earth, but your service to this nation is not forgotten.
Thank you for your courage and for my freedom.

May you rest in eternal peace.



50,000 Names
(2001)
