Why did FDR award George M. Cohan the Congressional GOLD MEDAL? Well ya see it was like this. Didja know?

World War 1
July 28, 1914 - November 11, 1918

George M. Cohan wrote OVER THERE in 1917. A song I cannot sing without tearing up. Here it goes just in case you are unaware of the lyrics

"Over there Over there
Send the word send word over there
The Yanks are coming the Yanks are coming
The drums rum tumming everywhere

So prepare. Say a prayer.
Send the word send the word to prepare
We'll be over. We're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over over there."

DAM* right I'm proud of my country. Those who aren't I pity very bigly.
