George Jones. The Grand Tour.
Heard it today. Is the woman in the story dead, or did she leave him?
Left him, then its just a great country song. If she died, it is heartbreaking.

•As a direct result of the Sullivans' deaths (and the deaths of four of the Borgstrom brothers within a few months of each other two years later), the U.S. War Department adopted the Sole Survivor Policy.[7]
•A museum wing has been built in honor of their service in World War II. The museum is located in downtown Waterloo, Iowa, their hometown. It was completed in 2008. The grand opening occurred on November 15, 2008. The $11.5 million, state-of-the-art facility aims to play a role in preserving the history and service of Iowa veterans and serve as a facility for research and genealogy studies.[8]
•The Navy named two destroyers The Sullivans to honor the brothers: The Sullivans (DD-537) and The Sullivans (DDG-68). DD-537 was the first American Navy ship ever named after more than one person. The motto for both ships was/is "We stick together."[9]
•Al Sullivan's son served on board the first USS The Sullivans. His grandmother christened the first ship. The second USS The Sullivans was christened by Al's granddaughter Kelly Ann Sullivan Loughren.[10]
•Thomas and Alleta Sullivan toured the country promoting war bonds and asked that none of their sons died in vain.[11]
•Genevieve, their only sister, served in the WAVES. She was the girlfriend of Bill Ball, whose death at Pearl Harbor prompted her brothers to join the Navy to avenge him.[12]
•The brothers' story was filmed as the 1944 movie The Sullivans (later renamed The Fighting Sullivans) and inspired, at least in part, the 1998 film Saving Private Ryan.[13] The Sullivans were also briefly mentioned in Saving Private Ryan.
•The brothers' hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, has a convention center named "The Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center",[14] and the town also renamed a street and set aside a public park in their honor. The park is the location of their childhood home.[15]

Boulder to Birmingham- Emmylou Harris
The lyrics certainly paint a vivid picture to suggest she might have been
The last time I felt like this/I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire/And I stood on the mountain/In the night and I watched it burn

Driving from Phoenix to Las Vegas through the Joshua Tree Forest listening to that song when she says "Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive."
That was powerful.
