"America the Beautiful" (Audio)

In honor of all our veterans, here is my version of "America the Beautiful, which I recorded recently in a good friend's living room. I want to share it with all of you, especially today.

Oh how often I have wished this was our National Anthem.
Instead we have a song about war.
Well, maybe after the military industrial complex empire falls apart..............
Thank you, that was beautiful.

This is not a day for out vets. This is a day for the media and our out of control government/politicians to exploit our vets for their self-serving agenda.
