This video of a 1982 concert in St. Louis is probably as close as we will ever get to a music video for Remember the Heroes, Sammy Hagar’s tribute to the men and women who have fought and died in America’s wars. I know that some people think this is a pro-war song but the lyrics are actually a plea not to forget the soldiers once the war is over and they’ve returned home. The song calls out those who expect the military to fight for them but who then “turn their back” once the fighting is finished.
This song was co-written with Jonathan Cain, the keyboardist from Journey.
Enjoy!
