This is my DH as an infant with his mother and father. His Father was killed in the Battle of Anzio and his Mother received the telegram about his death on Mother's Day in 1944. My DH is a musician and these are the lyrics to a song he wrote for his Father. The picture on the bottom left is my DH's electric guitar with his Father's violin. On the album, the beginning and end of the song are an actual recording from 1938 of his Father singing "Long Long Ago". How many voices have been silenced through war?
Lyrics of "The Man Who Killed My Daddy" by Bugs Henderson:
Mother's Day in '44,
The telegram arrived
Your husband is not coming home
The Captain gave his life
No angels showed up that day
No angels brought the news
Not the day the music died
And came back as the Blues.
Just a fool on some hill
In another time and place
Wouldn’t know him if I
passed him on the street
Wouldn’t recognize his face
He was taught to take life
Just like my father was
The good and evil universe
Each fighting for their cause
The man who killed my Daddy
Is he out there still?
Did it even get to him?
Did he have his fill?
The man who killed my Daddy
Suppose he had a son
And when I play so far away
Is he out there having fun?
And so I write a song too late
Too late it all sinks in
Black and white all turns gray
Thinking back to when
The man who killed my Daddy
Was just doin’ his part
For history and homeland
And the Captain’s Purple Heart.
