Annotation — US 'Patriotic' / Pro-Government / Anti-Protest Songs [War Years]
Country, patriotic, K.I.A., home front perspective. Boy at train station watched as soldier's came home from Vietnam. Waiting for daddy. But he returned in a casket wrapped in flag. He died for you and me.
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
