Military Music
| I love a parade; I really
do. And I love bands, too. But, I don't mean parades like
the spectacles put on by Macy's each Thanksgiving--although they're
pretty neat to see in person. And, I don't mean high school band
competitions with overblown drumlines and streamer- waving dance
teams--yes, I've been a band parent. No, I mean that I love
military parades with military bands playing military music. I
never had a duty in the Army I enjoyed more than serving as the
Commander of Troops during a retirement parade or change of command
ceremony. However, even more than military band music, I love army songs . . . war songs . . . songs of liberty . . . songs of the American soldier. And, that's what is here.
