REQUIEM FOR A SOLDIER KATHERINE JENKINS

Miss Jenkins is all right in my book and a brave patriot; she has made several trips to Iraq and Afghanistan and has even been under fire. Beauty, talent and guts.
The soldiers and Marines who saw her thought she was just magnificent and very hospitable and gracious. Memories like that will never be forgotten.


The Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks-produced epic World War II television series Band of Brothers is based on a true story adapted
from the best-selling book by Stephen Ambrose. FIRST RATE film. I rank it as one of the best WWII films ever made barring none. It must be in anyone's top five for script, story and action. Great authenticity and production values.

The story depicts a regiment of U.S. Army Airborne Soldiers (Paratroopers)
who parachute into France on D-Day, fight off the Nazi Panzers
at Bastogne and climaxes with their daring
capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Bavaria.

The music was composed by the award-winning Michael Kamen, and the new lyrics are by English songwriter Frank Musker. Sung by the lovely Katherine Jenkins in London, England.

BELOW ARE THE 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
