To all of you who are involved with the
Patriot Guard
and American Legion Riders:
I would like to introduce myself to you
and thank you for what you do.
I am Laurence E Butterfield Sr from
Vermont.
I am a Disabled (amputee) Viet Nam
Veteran. I am also a songwriter.
A few years back now, on a visit to
Maine, I became involved in a situation where
protestors were creating havoc for a
fallen Iraq soldiers funeral.
At this rally, Patriot Guard riders
were also present. I rode with the bikers,
in my truck which was adorned with
flags to support the fallen hero
and his family and loved ones.
Long story, short ... the situation so
moved me,
that I wrote "Funeral
Ballad".
As this song echoes what you stand for,
I thought I would bring it to your attention.
Here is a link to my web site where you
may hear it and read the lyrics.
I hope you enjoy it and Please,
share this with as many people
as you think will enjoy it.
(Please be patient, the song sometimes
takes a moment or two to load.)
I wanted to share this with those of
you who do what you do before the song is released
on my album, which will be available on
various music download
sites on the internet in early May.
Again,
thanks for your support and all you do.

The
elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood!
Neither
was Sam Bierstock. It was around 1 A.M., and Bierstock, a Delray Beach,
Florida, eye doctor,
business consultant, corporate speaker and musician, was bone
tired after appearing at an
event. He pulled up in his car, and the parking attendant
began to speak. "I
took two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing," he said
bitterly. At first,
Bierstock didn't know what to say to the World War II veteran.
But he rolled down his
window and told the man,
"Really, from the
bottom of my heart, I want to thank you."
Then the old soldier began
to cry. "That really got to me,"
Bierstock says.
Bierstock, 58, and John
Melnick, 54, of Pompano Beach - a member of Bierstock's
band, Dr. Sam and the
Managed Care Band - have written a song inspired by that old
soldier in the airport
parking lot. The mournful "Before You Go" does more than salute
those who fought in WWII.
It encourages people to go out of their way to thank the
aging warriors before they
die. "If we had lost that particular war, our whole way of life
would have been shot,"
says Bierstock, who plays harmonica. "The WW II soldiers are
now dying at the rate of
about 2,000 every day. I thought we needed to thank them."
GOD BLESS every EVERY veteran...and THANK you!
