‘Mansions of the Lord’ from the movie ‘We Were Soldiers’
‘Hymn to the Fallen’ from ‘Saving Private Ryan’
Theme from ‘Band of Brothers’
Theme from ‘The Pacific’
and a similar music.

While listening, I think of Army buddies that died in Vietnam, a cousin I never knew that died in Korea, along with friends and family that suffered the emotional trauma of several conflcts. And I trust their sacrifices are worthy of the Lord’s acceptance.

“Just Divine embrace, Eternal light,
In the Mansions of the Lord.”

I remember those who are buried in foreign cemeteries, those who returned in flag draped boxes, and those who were never recovered. Those heroes are honored by me.
