A look at the Military Service of well respected musicians and their use of music to show respect for the legacy of American Veterans. Chris and Jim discuss the recent Whitewashing of American Veterans Legacies , the deliberate dishonest manipulation of history, and the lack of respect currently being shown to American Military Members. Johnny Cash gave respect to the Legacy of Marine Ira Hayes back in 1964, we have a responsibility to follow that example today to speak against the whitewashing of our history. Johnny Cash was ahead of his time with The Ballad of Ira Hayes and now it is our turn to honor Johnny's good advice. Thank You.
