The song "The Wall" (Living Word Records # 001) featured on an album of Vietnam War-related tracks by John Steer, a veteran of the war. According to his website, he actually sung at the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Wall, although it does not say which song.123 He was originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, and currently lives in Winter Haven, Florida, USA. This album was recorded in Charlotte, Arkansas, USA. The song was a cover of "The Wall" by Festival, discussed above, which took a patriotic position, describing the deaths as "the price we paid for freedom" . The song centred around the story of a mother, whose son died in Vietnam, visiting the war memorial.
