Memorial Day was originally Decoration Day, a day that the families of the fallen decorated the tombstones of the Civil War Dead. By and large it’s just another holiday now-the official beginning of summer.
I tried to think of a song that both honors the soldiers and doesn’t honor war, and this one popped to mind. The fact that it’s by the Dixie Chicks is a bonus, given their past.
