Songs, they touch us, they inspire us, they make us think about a certain time. A good song can stay in my head for a while. Right now the song that is stuck in my head is Starship.. of course it helps when I am a trekkie at heart.
Songs can also bring back memories that are bittersweet or remind us of a time in combat. You dont pick the song that brings back a memory, that song jars a memory of a certain place, in the desert, on patrol or at a base camp.
A few songs remind me of Desert Storm. From a Distance is one song that reminds me of that war. Good song, good memories. The theme song to the movie Team America reminds me of my tour in Afghanistan.
When I was stationed at Hunter Army Airfield, I used to go to a club /bar called Malones in Savanaha, Ga. I have sadly learned that the club was closed down. Another club/bar that I used to go to was called Congress Street Station. We would go into the bar, they would stamp us as being underage, but I would bring some alcohol pads with me and wipe off the stamp and quickly have someone of age make a copy of their stamp so I could drink. It was so easy to do !
