Geek Stuff:  Filmed with a Sony TRV310 digital camcorder and edited using Pinnacle DV500 with Adobe Premiere 6.5.

Filmed while on holiday at the memorials commemorating the Korean War, Battle for Iwo Jima and the Viet Nam war, the video would be nothing without music.  By pure happenstance, while searching the internet for some obscure music, I found this slightly different version of the American Civil War classic "When Johnny Comes Marching Home."

Performed by a Finnish folk called Pilasoittajat, I was covered in goose bumps the first time I heard this song.  When used as the backing track for this video, it never ceases to put a lump in my throat.
