Darren Coggan War Stories

Price: $29.95

For a country that has never started a war, we've certainly been in our fair share of scrapes over the years. The official history of war paints us a big simple picture; this battle, that country, this date. Unfortunately, in this big picture version of our history there is never any time to hear about the smaller stories. Ironically it is the smaller stories that can tell us about that big picture. These songs are about some of those smaller stories that make war more personal, more human. I truly hope you enjoy “War Stories” and take the time to reflect on what is such a defining part of who we are as a nation today.
