Just had a piece of the National Cathedral service and remembering how both that and the British St.Paul's Cathedral services moved me. I have emailed both to see if there were tapes available and never heard back from them. A note of further history is that it was said that the hymn "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" had never been sung there before and there was the Queen singing it (we call it the "Battle Hymn of the Republic"). I am going to try again to find these tapes - they are IMPORTANT!
Also the Canadians had a moving memorial at Parliment Square in Ottowa. Wish I still felt the same about our Canadian 'Allies' with their 'stringent' immigration policies that allow so many into Canada so easily!

For many years, the lyrics appearing in song books have read:
As He died to make men holy,
Let me LIVE to make men free.
For the memorial service, Laura had the choir sing the original version:
As He died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free.
Our God is Marching On....
