I served for a time as a chaplain at the Fort Meade Veterans Center. We sang many older songs, but it seemed to me that there was always a spark that came to life in these aging men and women when we sang the songs of the Armed Forces. These veterans didn’t lose their lives serving our country, but many of them were forever impacted as their buddies lost their lives and they bore the physical, mental and emotional scars of their service. Much of what I see today tells me we are unworthy of these great Veterans.
