A Memorial Day Tribute to Our Troops

Uploaded by blostopher on May 25, 2009
A tribute to our men and women in service and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The song is "Sgt. MacKenzie", from the soundtrack to Mel Gibson's 'We Were Soldiers'. It's a lament to a fallen soldier in the Great War. Here is the story behind the song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._MacKenzie
"The great French preacher Lacordaire once said the vocation of a soldier is next in dignity to the priesthood, not only because it commissioned him to defend justice on the field of battle and order on the field of peace, but also because it called him to the spirit and intention of sacrifice." -- Bishop Fulton Sheen ('Wartime Prayerbook')
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, let thy protection be upon all those who are in the service of our country; guard them from all harm and danger of body and soul; sustain and comfort those as home, especially in their hours of loneliness, anxiety, and sorrow; prepare the dying for death and the living for your service; give success to our arms on land and sea and in the air; and grant unto us and all nations a speedy, just and lasting peace. Amen. -- Prayer in Time of War

@1992aligator this song is about Sergeant MacKenzie who was bayoneted to death at the age of 35, while defending one of his badly injured fellow soldiers...so yeah, it means something.
