War in Music - The movie "Jarhead" contains a Tom Waits anti-war song, Can you name it?

Selling war medals after the death of a loved one. One of Waits' most beautiful pieces. When I think of George W. refusing to attend the funerals of fallen soldiers, this song comes to mind. According to The Independent, a White House directive was introduced in early 2003. An official said: "We don't want the remains of our service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice to be the subject of any kind of attention that is unwarranted or undignified." And the Waits lyric went,"...Oh and this one is for bravery, and this one was for me, and everything's a dollar in this box."
