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
