Twede Danley and Wayne Noel
Wayne Noel, a U.S. Army veteran and songwriter living in Jasper County, TX and his friend Twede Danley spent several weeks writing an original country veterans’ song, “The Brotherhood Still Stands.” Wayne asked NacNewsNow.com to share Twede’s story with families and veterans in East Texas and Southwest Louisiana.
Twede served in Vietnam as an Army Military Policeman in 1968–1969. He sings about his life, from working on a farm as a boy through Vietnam and the lasting struggles some veterans face after returning home. The song honors veterans affected by Agent Orange, cancer, PTSD and memories of fallen comrades.
Wayne and Twede served together through Disabled American Veterans and the American Legion in Paradise, California. Wayne was DAV commander for seven years and Legion commander for one year. Wayne and Twede stood side by side on the veterans’ honor guard, folding flags and participating in rifle salutes. They both survived the 2018 Camp Fire, and Wayne now lives in Jasper County.
‘The Brotherhood Still Stands’ was written by Wayne Noel and Twede Danley and is performed by Twede Danley.
