Last Letter Home

Last Letter Home

"Last Letter Home" is a Dropkick Murphys song from the album "The Warrior's Code" that was inspired by the death of Sgt. Andrew Farrar who was killed in Iraq on January 28 2005. The song was written with the letters sent between Farrar and his family.

Farrar's final letter home included a request that the song "Fields of Athenry" from the album "Blackout" be played at his funeral.

The band recorded a stripped down version of the song and presented it to Farrar's family. A copy of the CD was placed in Farrar's casket with him. The band's bagpiper Scruffy Wallace also played the song as Farrar's coffin was carried into the church.
