“The Free and the Brave” by MilBlogger Greyhawk

He said what? Here’s why:

After effects of the Toby Keith concert: Wrote this country music song while driving around in my humvee. Maybe later I’ll work out the guitar part and record.

The Free and the Brave

Over in America, home of the free
Land of unlimited opportunity

<b><i>They’re making noise, we’re making history.</i></b>

I think he may have a career planned for retirement!
