Title: Made it to Arlington
Post by: PegLeg45 on March 27, 2013, 02:59:46 PM

Song and video is a few years old, but for it's age, doesn't have a lot of views on youtube.........

"Arlington" is sung from the viewpoint of a soldier, killed in battle and buried at Arlington National Cemetery. It was inspired by United States Marine Corps Corporal Patrick Nixon, who died in battle in 2003.

PegLeg,

      It's hard to type with a tear in my eye. My Mother and Father live there. Nice song and never heard it before. Thanks...

Heck, I'm a Trace Adkins fan, and the song has been out since 2009 and I'd never heard it either..... just happened to spot it while looking at another of his songs (called, Til the Last Shot's Fired....which is really good also).

I have been to Arlington and it is one somber place.
