Great stuff Chip. Men like your grandpa deserve to have songs written about them. I'm happy your to make that happen. They embodied the best of America and are big reason we can live the lives we have today. Long live Buddy and Greatest Generation.
Thanks Jason. Really appreciate your sentiment. It’s been an honor to pull the story together with his materials so more folks could learn his about him and the hardships so many like him endured.
Love this, Chip, especially the surprise picture and commentary at the end for DR and my mom. ❤️ Well done! Such a fantastic tribute for your grandpa. My Dad would love all of this- the story, song and cover art! Perfect for the upcoming holiday.
A very impressive and moving story Chip. I regret I could not meet Grandpa Buddy, but he lives in your songwriting and vocals. You have developed many talents since we worked together: promoter, songwriter, vocalist, poet and writer. All that is missing is the Marine Corps, but Grandpa Buddy already has you covered. As a Marine myself, and also a corporal, I appreciate your honoring the men and women who kept us free, then and now. Semper Fi. Love Jen's cover design!
Well done Chip! I have many fond memories of your grandpa. Some of my favorites are from the time spent as his nightshift nurse in the old Mercy hospital. He referred to me as “the night dweller”. ❤️

Thank you Rick! I very much appreciate the thoughtful and encouraging response especially coming from such a decorated veteran and journalist.
Arnold and I both loved it! Can’t wait to hear you in person again!
Clara, thank you so much for following along! I really appreciate the support and approval especially from such a renowned historian like Arnold.
