In time for the memorial weekend (11th Nov) I thought I would share this. Beautiful music from Band of Brothers performed by Katherine Jenkins “Requiem for a Soldier” . Moving Lyrics below. Thank you to all to the servicemen – They  sacrified their today, so we could have our tomorrow. RIP

Lyrics:

Requiem for a Soldier

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

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

Also I found this. This really got my lip going : Hymn to the fallen – old proud men with their medals – how proud I am of them.

Something for the British :

  1. Readers will also enjoy Soldier’s Mail which features the writings home of US Sgt Sam Avery from the front lines of American involvement in the Great War. Fascinating eyewitness account from the hot sands along the Rio Grande to the cold mud along the Meuse. Letters are posted on the same date they were written more than 90 years ago. Long before the Greatest Generation there was the Most Gallant Generation. Come read the blog and march along!

  2. Just checked out the site, a interesting read. People just don’t write letters like that anymore. Many thanks keep up the good work.

  3. [...] Brilliant Band of Brothers theme sung by Katherine Jenkins here [...]
