Hello, [D] I'm Chris Christopherson.
On November 8, 1965, the 173rd Airborne Brigade on Operation Hump, [D] War Zone D in Vietnam,
were ambushed by over 1,200 B.C.
Forty-eight American soldiers lost their lives.
Severely wounded and risking his own life, Lawrence Joel, a medic, was the first living
black man since the Spanish-American War to receive the United States Medal of Honor for
saving so many lives in the midst of battle that day.
Our friend Niles Harris, retired 25 years, United States Army, the guy who gave Big Kenny
his top hat, was one of the wounded who lived.
This song is his story.
[A] Caught in the action of kill or be killed, [G] greater love hath no man [A] than to lay down
his life for his brother.

[G] [D] [A]
[G] [D] [A] Said goodbye to his mama as he left South [G] Dakota to fight for the red, [A] white, and blue.
He was 19 and green with a new M16 [G] just doing what he [D] had to do.
[A] He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would [G] rumble with the smell of napalm [D] in the air.
[A] Then the sergeant said, [G] look up ahead.
[A] Like a dark evil cloud, 1,200 came [G] down on him and [D] 29 more.
[A] They fought for their lives, but most of them died [G] in the [D] 173rd Airborne.
[A] On the 8th of November, the angels were crying [G] as they carried his brother [D] away.
[A] With the fire raining down and the hell all around, [D] there were few men left standing that day.
[F] Saw the eagle fly [G] through a clear blue [F] sky.
1965, [G] the 8th of [A] November.
[G] [D] [A] Now he's 58 and his ponytail's gray, [G] but the battle's still blazing [D] in his head.
[A] He limps when he walks, but he's strong when he talks.
[G] Got the shrapnel that left [D] in his leg.
He [A] puts on a gray suit over his airborne tattoo, [G] and he ties it on one [D] time a year.
[A] And remembers the fallen as he orders a [G] taunt, swallows it down [D] with his tears.
