That song is grim and hopeful at the same time. I was reminded of several songs imagined while gazing at stars: Denver's Shanghai Breezes & Ronstadt's 'Somewhere Out There'.

And not to influence your son's journey in history, but I have a war movie suggestion; The Thin Red Line (my number 1). happy holidays Leah

Sounds idyllic🙏. My husband, the soul of romance, is a bit of a military historian and took me to the Maginot Line on our honeymoon!

Hmm…got to work up to that one. Not been there yet myself.

Try Normandy. We took our boys and they really enjoyed it.

And the Vimy Ridge monument is breathtaking and the trenches are unimaginable.

Belgium is special and there is still lots of debris in the farm fields which boys of all ages love to scavenge and bring home as souvenirs. I’m still wondering how we got it through customs!
