I think that "8th birthday of George HW Bush" is a misprint. Full funeral video at:

‘The Last Full Measure of Devotion’ lyrics:

In the long and honored history of America
There are names that shine like beacons in the night
The Patriots whose vision gave us meaning
Who kept the lamp of freedom burning bright

In the long and honored history of America
There are those that paid the last and final price
Who were called upon by chance, or desperate circumstance
To make the ultimate sacrifice

A grateful nation bows its head in sorrow
And in thanks for guaranteeing our tomorrow
The last full measure of devotion
That’s what they gave to the cause

The last full measure of devotion
And though they cannot hear our applause
We honor them forever and keep alive their story
Pay tribute to their lives and give them all the glory

The last full measure of devotion
Beyond the call of duty were their deeds
The last full measure of devotion
They gave themselves to serve the greater need

And for those who did survive
And came back home alive
They join in praise of comrades who were slain
And highly resolved, most highly resolved
That these dead shall not have died in vain

[Mr. K]

I wonder where that whole “Killing Kennedy” business got him placed?

10 years ago, Tynan used to sing the national anthem at Buffalo Sabres’ hockey games.

obviously, he moved on to bigger and better things...

This is the way it should be...

I first heard Tynan on the sound track of We Were Soldiers Once, And Young.

I heard the audio of his singing of the Lord’s Prayer, and it was profoundly moving (as it always is when it is sung). My immediate thought afterward was how shallow and insignificant it made most of the pop music-inspired stuff that passes for “worship music” these days sound by comparison. There are some great contemporary worship songs, but most of the rest just sound so superficial compared to singing the scripture with power and authority. I’m continually frustrated at many churches’ prioritization of generating “experiences” and appearing “hip” instead of honoring timeless scriptural authority.
