| WELCOME HOME BROTHER (tribute to Viet Nam Vets) by Lloyd Marcus (Quoted from the CD United We Stand by Lloyd Marcus) "To my knowledge, no one has ever done a musical tribute to Viet Nam vets. Last Year, the touring Viet Nam Memorial titled, The Wall came through central Florida. I performed at the opening ceremony. The experience compelled me to honor Viet Nam vets by creating a musical tribute. My original idea was to sing When Johnny Comes Marching Home moody and melancholy. I thought that having four or five vets sharing a few comments about their war experience would be a cool intro to the song. Well, talk about a "God thing"...on the night of the recording session, all the vets had to cancel except one. So my producer, Frank Starchak and I decided to forge ahead and record the one vet who did show up, Gerry Millholen. The passion, pain, courage and honor in his monolog had Frank and me on the edge of our seats and fighting back tears. Gerry lamented about how he and his band of brothers NEVER got a welcome home and how this injustice had affected their lives. Extremely moved and inspired, I scrapped my original idea and wrote a song around Gerry's monolog. As if channeled from above, the lyrics and melody of Welcome Home Brother flowed. The first two choruses on the recording are sung by me. We recruited singers from Florida to Nashville forming a mass choir to sing the last chorus. Our goal was to have all of America joining in to sing Welcome Home Brother. The awesome session in which we recorded the choir was filled with respect, gratitude and compassion. With warm hearts and lifted voices we gave Viet Nam vets their long overdue, welcome home."
