S2 E11 ”Memorial Day- The Bellamy Brothers & Canada O’ Canada”
Manage episode 365293249 series 3307591
The 2 Old Farts are back after a 2 week hiatus. Last week was my anniversary so we were on vacation. Which fed into Memorial Day. Memorial Day can be kind of a sad time remembering those whom we have lost. Personally, I lost 2 friends: Major Ed Murphy and CW2 Scott Coulter. I worked for Major Murphy while we were stationed in Italy. When I left Italy, he stayed behind and his unit deployed to Afghanistan. I returned to the US where my unit deployed to Iraq. Major Murphy died in a helicopter crash in 2005.
I knew CW2 Scott Coulter from my time at Fort Hood. I left Fort Hood to go to Italy. CW2 Coulter deployed from Fort Hood to Iraq in OIF 1. He was killed by a roadside IED in the fall of 2003. He died where I would be stationed just 14 months later.
As you will hear, my father, mother and wife and I went to see the Bellamy Brothers last night at The Roundup. It was a great time. My mom enjoys her bourbons! Oh and she loved my candle that I got her for Mother's Day.
Oh - and Canada. We've been having quite a few downloads from Canada. So far this month - we've only had 1 download it came from Canada so congratulations! We are so happy to have you listening to us.
Thank you!
