Memorial Day is approaching and while that means an extra day off for many people, we must remember the importance of the holiday.  On the day we formally remember and honor those who have paid the ultimate price serving our country, I think I've found a perfect Country Throwback song. 

Trace Adkins released "Arlington" in June of 2005 and it was a top 20 hit that year.  More importantly, it is a song about a real soldier.  It was inspired by United States Marine Corps Corporal Patrick Nixon, who died in battle in 2003.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and thank you to all the brave men and women serving our country at home and abroad.
