Help Me Identify This Song

[morgandawn]

 It was used in a California Crew vid that focused on war and used Vietnam footage from Magnum PI and Simon and Simon and other TV shows from the period. The singer is male (and sounds a bit like Gordon Lightfoot - even though I don't think it is him). He also has echoes of Richard Shindell.

A snippet from the lyrics

We thought we had your blessing

but we didn't have a prayer

Hail to the silent soldier

From the heart of the new frontier

May they long be remembered

After all these lonely years
