Scroll down and take a look at our most requested songs titled "Why I Wear The Flag." This was written by Carl Jones shortly after 9/11. We performed in Washington, D.C. at the Rolling Thunder event (some 350,000 Vietnam vets) along with Paul Revere and the Raiders, Nancy Sinatra and Billy Ray Cyrus on Memorial Day. When we were finished, we left the stage wearing our flag shirts and a lady commented"You guys ought to be ashamed for wearing the flag!!"
I turned around and replied.... Lady, we wear the flag for the right reasons. I served as a Marine in Vietnam and earned the priviledge; we do it in honor of those who are not with us." That really haunted me until I was later was driving to Chattanooga, Tennessee to do a show for the Vietnam veterans. I knew there was going to be several Gold Star moms attending who had lost sons in combat. As I was driving, I wrote down the song on a napkin and started singing....when I arrived in Chattanooga, I called Ed with his guitar out in the alley behind the theatre and sang it to him. When Larry, Ed and Boyce jumped in with their vocals, there was no doubt as to why we wear the flag. See if you pick up on it and let us know what you think. Semper Fidelis -- Carl
