At the risk of being a bit sappy, this song has come to epitomize Memorial Day for me. When I talk to combat veterans, without fail they all say they are not a hero, they say "the real heroes didn't get to come home."
This relatively simple song makes me see these men in my mind, longing for the ones they had to leave behind. It was written for those of the second world war, but I think anyone who served can relate.
