A friend of mine sent this and I think you all will enjoy it...
Thought you all would love this song – God Bless our troops…
I loved this song in the movie… Here are the words and the link to listen to the song… Page down to the English conversion of the song – I have it in red…

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone
What a coincidence I bought a new Tv yesterday and the first movie I watched on it was We were soldiers and I love that song too and thx to you I can listen it on my pc now.
Thanks again

In case anyone hasn't seen the movie, here is the site. We saw it before and it is very moving and well done.

Great video and great songs to match it . This is one of my favorite war movie with that of " Saving private Ryan".

Under every white cross of American Cemetery of Colleville (Normandy), sleeps a piece of Freedom
Was sent this forwarded message from Al Kincer...
Several videos of the ceremonies can be accessed thru http://www.army.mil/medalofhonor/crandall/ . Videos include presentation of the award by President Bush, Monday 26, February,
Various of the videos have photos of Battle at Ia Drang, November '65. "By the orders of their own heart," with author Joe Galloway ("We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young) and the voice of actor Sam Elliott (?) is good.
Office of Secretary of the Army phoned this AM to advise that Army DVD of videos and CD of photos are to be made available to TEOCSA. Work is in progress on the updated web page.
