    It shouldn't matter where you are from or who you fought for, this is purely a tune of respect to all that have fought to keep others safe.

    • @stephenmonaghan6030
      @stephenmonaghan6030 4 месяца назад +1

      Given this song directly references the First World War, who do you imagine "fought to keep others safe"? The Politicians? Generals? The Solldiers? If you include the soldiers, do you mean the soldiers on each side of the battle line?
      It's actually an ode to the songwriter's great-grandfather, inspired by the death of the songwriter's wife. It's not a tribute to anyone who fought for anything. If it has a purpose, it's a condemnation of sensless loss, portrayed by that seen in the battlefields of France in the First World War.
      It's not a tune of respect to all that have fought to keep others safe. It's a lament at a tragic loss. It's not heroic. It's sad.

    I am a German. My ancestors fought in WWI and WWII. They fought in France, Belgium and Russia. And they killed many Brits, French, Americans and- most of all- Russians. And still I love them. Because they are my family. And my greatest wish of all is, that there will no more war between us. I am so sorry of what happend those days.

Sergeant MacKenzie was bayoneted to death at age 33, while defending one of his badly injured fellow soldiers during hand-to-hand trench warfare.

    I've edited my poem to include the fine folks of Canada and all the other freedom-loving peoples of the world. It's not the color of the uniform that is important, it is those brave enough to wear them.
    How many Tears Have Fallen
    Tears so many have fallen
    Through the years for the Greatest Nations ever
    Tears for life liberty the pursuit of happiness
    For a free world
    Tears for the sons and daughters that never returned home
    Warrior soldiers all
    Tears wiped from the cheeks of so many wives
    Shed by the children with only faint memories
    Tears behind the mother's veil
    On father's handkerchief
    Tears at the base of the white stone
    That wet the flowers and flags
    Tears at the sound of taps played in the distance
    For the memories of buddies
    Tears at the sight and sound of dog tags boots
    Empty
    Tears when the aircraft flyover
    Stars shining brightly
    Tears as the ships sail
    Anchors aweigh
    Tears for those that patrol
    Gaurd the dark nights alone
    Tears at roll call
    With no reply to a name called
    How many tears have fallen
    Bless Them All
