Today is a day to remember everyone who has lost their life to support and protect the United States of America. I hope you can find some time today to reflect upon the many lives that have been lost to protect our great nation.
I personally want to send out my support to our troops and wish them a safe journey back home to their friends and family.
On August 18th 1969, Jimi Hendrix played a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock. Jimi’s version of the Star-Spangled Banner was a little controversial at the time but is now considered to be one the of the best guitar solo improvisations of all time. I believe that Jimi was not taking anything away from the original song but adding his own emotion and passion to an already beautiful song. Jimi Hendrix was an American soldier and was in the 101st Airborne. Jimi loved America and he was a huge advocate of peace.
Let’s remember everyone who has lost their lives for this great country and focus our future energy to peace.
