I was watching a show tonight, with Rita McNeil and the Men of the Deeps. They are well known in the maritimes of Canada, not so much outside. For background, she is an award winning singer, East Coast Music Awards. The Men of the Deep are ex-coalminers who formed a choir as the mines shut down. As I watched tonight, I did feel a tear as the men sang from experience. This is just one of their songs, two versions, as well as something else I found. I was in the maritimes while a member of the Canadian Navy. Hope you enjoy. The links work, you just may have to copy/paste into your browser.

Thank you onewhocares

While remembering the east coast, a song came into my head that I heard quite awhile ago. From Francesca Beghe, it's call Names on a Wall. I thought that it would fit.

A very nice tribute to our fallen soilders. I have passed it on to two local Veterans organizations.
