Song for a hero...
« on: January 17, 2007, 01:33:25 »
There are some nasty people about in the world...
But not everyone.

Lest we forget.

Sgt Michael G Willetts, 3 Para, was awarded the George Cross (Posthumous) for his actions on May 25th 1971.

This is the most powerful, meaningful song I ever remember hearing.

This song was banned by the BBC, and may still be so... but I'le bet a lot of people know it...

I first heard this song when my boy was half way through his first tour in the Province. It shook me then. It still does.
Very moving.
Religon and politics have a lot to answer for.

So why was this song banned by the BBC?  Not politically correct enough?  :?
