*`BEFORE YOU GO`*
The elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood!
Neither was Sam Bierstock. It was around 1 a.m., and Bierstock,
a Delray Beach, Fla., eye doctor, business consultant, corporate speaker,
and musician was bone tired after appearing at an event.
He pulled up in his car and the parking attendant began to speak.
"I took two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing,"
he said bitterly.
At first, Bierstock didn't know what to say to the World War II veteran.
But he rolled down his window and told the man, "Really, from the bottom
of my heart, I want to thank you."
Then the old soldier began to cry.
"That really got to me," Bierstock says.
Cut to today.
Bierstock, 58, and John Melnick, 54, of Pompano Beach- a member of
Bierstock's band,
Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Band, have written a song inspired by
that old soldier
in the airport parking lot. The mournful "Before You Go" does more
than salute
those who fought in WWII. It encourages people to go out of their
way to thank the aging warriors before they die.
"If we had lost that particular war, our whole way of life would
have been shot," says Bierstock, who plays harmonica.
"The WW II soldiers are now dying at the rate of about 2,000 every day.
I thought we needed to thank them."
The song is striking a chord. Within four days of Bierstock placing
it on the Web, the song and accompanying photo essay have bounced
around nine countries, producing tears and heartfelt thanks from
veterans, their sons and daughters and grandchildren.
"It made me cry," wrote one veteran's son. Another sent an e-mail
saying that only after his father consumed several tall glasses of wine
would he discuss "the unspeakable horrors" he and other soldiers had
witnessed in places such as Anzio , Iwo Jima, Bataan, and Omaha Beach.
"I can never thank them enough," the son wrote.
"Thank you for thinking about them."
Bierstock and Melnick thought about shipping it off to a professional
singer, maybe a Lee Greenwood type, but because time was running out
for so many veterans, they decided it was best to release it quickly,
for free, on the Web. They've sent the song to Sen. John McCain and
others in Washington .
Already they have been invited to perform it in Houston for a
Veterans' Day tribute - this after just a few days on the Web.
They hope every veteran in America gets a chance to hear it.
GOD BLESS EVERY veteran.....and THANK you to those of you veterans
who may receive this!
