No question:
"We Were Soldiers"
Also, the "Band of Brothers" series should be seen by everyone as well.
Spot on!! Thanks!!!!
The hymn Randall Wallace and Nick Glenny-Smith composed for that movie, "Mansions of the Lord" (lyrics below), should become the Army counterpart to the equally beautiful Navy hymn "Eternal Father."
I cannot hear that music and those words without being moved to tears.
Perhaps because I lost at least one friend -- and will never know how many former students -- in Vietnam.

***THE MANSIONS OF THE LORD***
from the movie "We Were Soldiers"
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
While through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord
Good movie. I saw that one in the theater.
