The first time I heard this song I was 7 or 8 and I cried because I missed my Uncle Phil. My dad and my Uncle Phil had joined the Army together, dad was a jeep mechanic and Uncle Phil got his Silver Wings. Dad came home, Uncle Phil didn't. For whatever reason, Uncle Phil had given dad one of his Green Berets, dad still has it, and he had us promise to put the Beret in his coffin with him, he had it sealed, and it's locked up in his safe. Dad will be 80 this August and he's still going strong.
