Beautiful song, the meaning is kind of obvious. Technically about Niles Harris in war zone "D" in operation Hump in Vietnam, and how he fought for his country and how he saw so many of his friends and fellow soldiers die right in front of him.
But in a more general view, this song might be describable for any soldier who fought in Vietnam, the feeling of fighting for your country, but also the feeling over knowing that you're probably going to die and that all your friends are dying before your eyes.
I don't usually like country, but this is an amazing song.
