AN OLD SONG WITH A NEW TWIST
Does anyone remember and old song called 'Kokomo', by 'The Beach Boys'. I loved that song.
Recently someone sent my daughter an e-mail with the URL to a new version of that song.
If you never view another video again please watch this one. It was made for fun by some soldiers in Kosovo.
It's cute, it's adorable, it's funny, however I must say that although I started out laughing, it only took me 2 seconds of watching the video to start crying like crazy wondering of how many of those young men we have lost since this video was made. My tears flowed like a waterfall as I blurted that thought out to my daughter, then she looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said me too.
Please watch 'The Beach Boys Remix', by some very brave men.

Music was perhaps their catharsis. Venting out; the atrocities of war affect one and all.
I'm sure you're right, on both counts. But isn't it sad what a waste of human life.
All of the young men that we have already lost, what could they have become and all of the innocent people that live there that just want peace, how many of them a gone now? It is so sad.
Exseno, you knew I'd have to say this...
I really do not think it is a waste of LIFE! Freedom is costly, so very costly. The fact that some women are not atrociously tortured anymore because our boys and those like them from around the world thought the fight worthy. I'm so glad that they stand between me and the bad guys! I pray for them a lot. I've put them in God's hands for protection. Thank God for Freedom... but, for His grace, there go we.
Gina,
Good to hear from you, and
I understand what you are saying but I said it is so sad. Not a waste of life.
I think it's sad and I think that it is a Shame that with the amount of intellegence that the human race has evolved to, we still have wars. I guess we haven't evolved enough.
i think john stamos was guest drummer for kokomo. but i could be mistaken. it's a great song.
Abbas Halai,
Really? Now I'm curious, I've only seen him play the guitar.
Exseno,
You are wrong. That's not an OLD song! It's practically brand new! I mean, I was a freshman in college when it came out! And that was just... um.... okay, it's an old song. Just don't tell Tom that Katie was only ten years old when that song came out.
Tor,
Yes it is an old song, so is 'Yesturday' and so many others that ring our in my head.
Seems like yesturday doesn't it.
Gina,
I did say that sorry, I didn't even realize it.
I guess in a way to me it is, when I think of how young these men & women are and what they might have been able to do with their lives if it had not been for war.
Exseno, I love coming here to see you! I wish there were more hours in the day...
I agree with you that it is sad when I think about those young men and women over there fighting to keep me safe so I can sleep at night.
I do not want to preach... I just want to say that God has a purpose for everything. He takes the things that are evil and makes something good from it. Without those young men and women giving their lives for our safety and the freedom of those in Iraq, there would be no safety and no freedom. Missionaries know the risks involved in going to other countries to witness, soldiers know the risks involved and they are trained to be the best they can be to do their jobs.
My problem is that so many journalists today do not take into consideration that FDR took us into WWII where 125,000 of our young men were killed every year!
Consider these facts:
Since the war began, U.S. soldiers and civilians killed in the 5 years does not equal the number killed in the Twin Towers disaster.
2703 total and 2199 killed in combat... compared to the 2996 Americans killed at the Twin Towers and the Pentagon and the downed plane flight 93. And...
Since Suddam was captured, 1892 have been killed in combat.
WWII kept us from all being blond with blue eyes, from being tortured and brutalized for experiment's sake. And that is precisely what the war against terror is doing for women and children in Afganistan and Iraq and even possibly Pakistan. It is better to fight evil head-on than to let is spread cancer throughout the world.
Dropping by to say HI!,hpe every thing is fine by ur side.
Take care.
