One For The Vine - A Timeless Story For Veterans Of War

Veteran's Day 2015. Is there a song from Genesis that reminds you of Veteran's Day? For me, One For The Vine addresses the complexity of service to a King or in modern terms a President, or inspiration leader advocating for leading men and women into combat.

A little more about the song.....

One For The Vine is a Banks masterpiece. While set in a different time period, listeners could easily find relevance today, especially with our polices of replacing governments in the Middle East. The main character in One For The Vine learns that power corrupts. He wishes that he never made the decision to lead the many for the will of one. For many, the recent conflicts have many coming home from war with regrets. They saw the hardships left behind our interventions, and began to doubt the wisdom of the "one."
