There's teddy bears and high school rings
and old photographs that mamas bring
Of daddies with their young boy, playing ball.
There's combat boots,he used to wear,
When he was sent over there.
And there's 50,000 names, carved in the wall
There's cigarettes, and cans of beer
and notes that say I miss you dear
and children who don't say anything at all.
There's purple hearts and packs of gum
fatherless daughters and fatherless sons
and there's 50,000 names carved in the wall
They come from all across this land
In pickup trucks and mini vans
Searching for a boy from long ago
They scan the wall and find his name
The teardrops fall like pouring rain
and silently they leave a gift and go
There's Stars of David and rosary beads
and crucifixion figurines
and flowers of all colors large and small
There's a Boy Scout badge and a merit pin
Little American flags waving in the wind
and there's 50,000 names carved in the wall.

Review about 50000 Names Thank You | Reviewer: Larry C. Newman | 10/8/09
I have tried to step up to the wall 4 times and each time I have stopped short dropped to my knees and cried. Camp Eagle, Fire base Evens, and 3 tours have left me with memories of my fallen friends. Just the words and Georges voice bring me to tears each time I here him sing 50,000 names. His music and the wall will for ever live in me. I am going back to the wall in December with my last surviving crew chief and door gunner. We are going to try and trace the names of every one we flew with. Hopefully this song will give me the strength to take those last few steps. Thank you George.

As a Vietnam veteran who knew some of those 58,000, it brought a tear. I probably think more about that war now than I did soon after it.
When people my age die, I think about how much was taken from those who died young; what they might have been or what they might have done, but killed in what turned out be for very little.

I am Glad they picked George to sing this song I dont belive that anyone else could diliver the Lyrics the way he can,I served in the Army in while the conflict was going on and Glad I served my country,So many gave all,and so many have been forgotten by our leaders today,Thank you for the song,

I was wounded in Viet Nam in 1967. This song makes me pround that I served (USMC). How quick do our Politicians forget that 50,000 plus in Viet Nam and the men and women lost in our current conflicts. Billy Ray said it in a song "All gave some and some gave all". This is just another song that makes proud to be an American.
