"WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME AGAIN HURRAH, HURRAH.."
The song came to me in the context of my childhood memories of the romantic images of World War II and the homecoming of the boys. There is a big discrepancy between the tone of John-Wayne G.I. movies and "Deer hunter" about the Vietnam era. I'm trying to say that Gary is the way War is for some and not all our sons "came marching home"; did not get setup in business, and live happily thereafter etc., as Hollywood described. Vietnam Vets like Gary; those who did not die, seem to have been cheated of the respect due them. And some remained stuck in the sixties while the rest of us moved on.
