Johnny Horton – North to Alaska – 45 rpm

Usually I add my Rockabilly vids after midnight. But due to this being Memorial Day, I thought I would dedicate this song to my grandpa. Grandpa fought in the Philippines during World War II. When he came back to the states he attended Michigan Agricultural College, now known as Michigan State University, for about a year. The government was giving Alaskan land to service men and women. Grandpa took advantage of this.  I had talked about this on my Thanksgiving post  and posted a story I wrote in high school, here.  So I dedicate this song to all the World War II vets who took advantage of the Alaskan Land opportunity.
