I was looking for inspiration to find a blog topic that's appropriate on the Sabbath. Looking through today's paper, shout out to the Salt Lake Tribune, I stumbled across their monthly magazine Valor. In there they have a feature about the power of music. They have selected 5 songs each from World War 1 to the Afghanistan War. The Afghanistan War started in 2001 and unbelievably 18 years later is still ongoing.
I've already done similar blogs for the Vietnam War, so I won't be writing that blog again. I'll do this blog and see if I'll so any other blogs for any other wars.
