    Thanks Bold Highlander

    Thanks Terry,

    Everytime I hear that song I always get choked up. I am learning that tune on my pipes, it's called "Sgt. MacKenzie". As someone who has worn the uniform of a Marine in the past and currently wears the uniform of a Deputy Sheriff, all I can say is......Tapadh Leat mo caraidh! (Thanks my friend!)

    Thanks Eric (& if I hadn't said so before, thank you for your service my friend).

    Maybe one day I'll get to hear you play this tune on your pipes?
