And they sing it and I play the song.
A cassette tape of that song is in the museum in Fort Benning, Georgia.
Oh.
the infantry museum that's amazing but i was in the army and i didn't think nothing about music then i was just doing that to get over yeah i mean because every time instead of having to stand in line to go up to the tower to do my 250 foot tower jump they put me in the front of the line i would go do my jump front of the line do my jump that day do my stuff i had to do and then i would go set up the white house and work on this song like i was something special
What was special about all of that, that no one would know would consider special except for us was my parents.
Couldn't be there when I graduated, you know, they both worked, which wasn't a big deal.
You know, I didn't, I didn't feel bad about it.
Ain't like I was the one guy soldier over there like this, you know, I didn't really care.
Um,
Back then, they did what they called blood wings.
When you got your wings, they would stick them right there, and then they'd pound them in your chest.
I mean, the little needle's only about a quarter inch, but they would pound them in your chest.
It was a badge of honor, so to speak.
Yeah.
My parents couldn't be there, and since I did that, Red King, who was the first enlisted man ever to jump out of an airplane, and Colonel Leonard B. Scott, who wrote the book about Vietnam, Charlie Mike, who was the commander of the airborne school, gave me my blood wings.
Yeah.
Even then when that happened, I thought, yeah, whatever the commander and some old guy gave me my wing.
And then you look back and go, my God, man, you know, you think about the first guy who ever jumped out of an airplane with a parachute gave me my blood wing.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
I don't remember much.
