In addition to honoring Roger, officials will erect a monument to his father, inscribed with the lyrics to Roger’s “Two Suns in the Sunset” from Pink Floyd’s “The Final Cut” (1983).
Waters received details of his father’s death only last autumn, when WWII vet Harry Shindler discovered a War Diary describing the day’s events. (See “New documents reveal final day of Roger Water’s father“)
This is both a touching , and beautiful, honor which Roger Waters truly deserves.By the virtue of Eric Fletcher Water’s birthright, and meritorious service; in which his life was terribly lost in WWII at Anzio; finally, Roger can have a visible, permanent, monument to the pride that his father would feel for his son’s undying love, and visceral inspirations; that Roger’s father has bestowed upon him. Two VERY honorable men.
Thanks Eric, and thank you Roger. Sincerely Ron Scott Sippel
