Had a friend in the Marine Corps that loved this song and played it any chance he got. He ended up taking his life after our desperate to change his mind. Anyways a year goes by and a bunch of Marines and I are visiting some family in Maryland. Someone pulled out a guitar and in our drunken emotional states we all yelled this song into the wind as loud as we could. Probably 15-20 people yelling for our buddy, all drunk and crying. I come here every day for him and I can always smell the east coast ocean and pines. Rest in Peace 1994-2015

This was my favorite song when I deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. My sergeant figured out how to input iPod music into our headsets. When we went through particularly...unpleasant areas...we would play this song. I remember accepting that I could die at any moment, but at least I have good music playing when it happens. Three of our soldiers got killed over that deployment. But as one of my buddies said,"three of us got killed, but all of us died in 2012. The rest of us are just still here." Almost 12 years later, and he wasn't wrong.

The first time I heard this song was at an acoustic night open mic night at a coffee house in college, the gentleman who played it had just lost his father who had taught him this song and had given him the mandolin he played it on. He sang a lot of it straight but started to break down about about two thirds in. So did we. He struggled through the tears, playing his instrument beautifully, and everyone gave him a standing ovation when he finished. I'll remember that until the day I die.

When I was in the army back in the 2000s they had us select songs we would like played at our funeral in case we were KIA, this was one of my favorites back then. Wouldn’t select it as a top 3 choice for my funeral nowadays but I love listening to it because it takes me back.
