11-08-17 8th of November
We play in its entirety the Big and Rich song 8th of November. It is the story of Niles Harris, an U.S. Army vet from Deadwood, South Dakota. On November 8, 1965, the 173rd Airborne Brigade on Operation Hump in War Zone D in Vietnam, were ambushed by over 1,200 Viet Cong. 48 American soldiers fighting with Harris lost their lives that day. So each year on the 8th of November, Harris puts on a suit and tie, and has a drink out of respect for is fallen brothers. David, Ray and Bill Diamond talk about Vietnam and the Afghanistan war similarities.
