This is a beautiful song. I can't say I know much of the history, but I do know that it is nice to hear a song for the soldiers who risk it all for their country. They deserve to be treated with the honor and respect they have earned.
"And when the war is said and done, May heaven spare our lives
For its only then we can return, To our loved ones and our wives
We'll take them in our arms, me boys, For a long night and a day
And we'll hope that war will come no more, To sweet America"
This stanza says it all.
