"BEFORE
YOU GO"
|
Friends:
Veterans of WWII are now dying at a rate of about 2,000
per day. I
encountered the following article in the Union-Tribune this
morning,
and checked out the referenced song (http://www.beforeyougo.us).
It is ... an OUTSTANDING song in
memory of our
WWII veterans.
Bierstock, 58, and John Melnick, 54, of Pompano Beach
- a member of
Bierstock's band, Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Band
- have written a song
inspired by that old soldier in the airport parking lot.
The mournful "Before You Go" does more than
salute those who fought in WWII. It
encourages people to go out of their way to thank the
aging warriors
before they die. "If we had lost that particular
war, our whole way of life would
have been shot," says Bierstock, who plays harmonica. "Every
ethnic
minority would be dead. And the old soldiers are now dying
at the
rate of about 2,000 every day. I thought we needed to
thank them."
The song is striking a chord. Within four days of Bierstock
placing
it on the Web (www.beforeyougo.us http://www.beforeyougo.us),
the
song and accompanying photo essay have bounced around
nine countries,
producing tears and heartfelt thanks from veterans, their
sons and
daughters and grandchildren.
