DANNY song lyrics by Joel Sattler
Danny,
Listen Danny,
Yes, it’s been too long
Since we went on our ways
Danny,
Listen Danny,
I still remember it
Like it was only just yesterday
There was once a time when we were so brave and strong
But there was a day when it went oh so very wrong
Danny Danny
Can you say it Danny?
Say that you forgot
The price we had to pay
Danny Danny
Can you live it Danny?
Can you live with it
Or are you still afraid?
We were just two kids caught up in a crazy war
Didn’t have the sense to ask what we're fighting for
Danny Danny
Come on, cheer up Danny,
We got out alive
And we should thank our stars
Danny, come on,
come on, come on, Danny
Don’t you spend your life
Down in the smoky bars
You still have a wife, home and couple of great kids
You don’t have to tell them just what the hell you did
Danny, stop
Come on, listen Danny,
Put down your hand
I will understand

My only uncle who was a veteran from WWI, certainly had what was described as "shell shock." But he wasn't anywhere in the trenches. As a medic, he was in a North Carolina hospital treating soldiers who came back with hideous wounds and amputations. And then along came the Spanish flu to an to his misery.
He got rich during the 20s only to lose it all in 29. Became a miser collecting coins and amassed a fortune in coin sets until the 1950s, abusing his wife and children, until my aunt had him put away in a veteran's hospital.
