Memorial Day: Requiem for a Soldier

One of the most moving series I've ever watched is "Band of Brothers."  On this Memorial Day, I can think of few more fitting tributes than this video.

Sung by Katherine Jenkins, the lyrics may be a bit difficult to understand, so I've included the lyrics below the video.

Take a few minutes today to watch this, and silently thank those who gave all for freedom.

You never lived to see 

What you gave to me 

One shining dream of hope and love 

Life and liberty 

With a host of brave unknown soldiers 

For your company, you will live forever 

Here in our memory 

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/amici+forever/requiem+for+a+soldier_20521282.html ] 

In fields of sacrifice 

Heroes paid the price 

Young men who died for old men's wars 

Gone to paradise 

We are all one great band of brothers 

And one day you'll see we can live together 

When all the world is free 

I wish you'd lived to see 

All you gave to me 

Your shining dream of hope and love 

Life and liberty 

We are all one great band of brothers 

And one day you'll see - we can live together 

When all the world is free
