[00:00:00] 8th Of November (Spoken Intro Only) - Big & Rich

[00:00:00] Hello, I'm Kris Kristofferson.

[00:00:04] On November 8th, 1965, the 173rd

[00:00:08] Airborne Brigade on Operation Hump

[00:00:10] , War Zone D in Vietnam were ambushed

[00:00:13] By over 1200 V.C. Forty-eight American

[00:00:18] Soldiers lost their lives that day.

[00:00:21] Severely wounded and riskin' his own life,

[00:00:24] Lawrence Joll, a medic was the first livin'

[00:00:27] Black man since the Spanish-American

[00:00:29] War to receive the United States Medal

[00:00:31] Of Honor for savin' so many lives in the

[00:00:33] Midst of battle that day.

[00:00:36] Our friend, Nialls Harris, retired 25 years,

[00:00:40] United States Army, (the guy who gave Big

[00:00:43] Kenny his top hat) was one of the wounded

[00:00:46] Who lived. This song is his story.

[00:00:51] Caught in the action of 'kill or be killed'

[00:00:54] 'Greater love hath no man to lay

[00:00:57] Down his life for a friend'.
