It's no wonder that such a huge crowd of spectators embarked on their journey to reach this amazing occurrence in the countryside of England.
The singer, Katherine Jenkins, has been traveling to entertain the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2005. She saw firsthand how hard it was for the soldiers abroad, and wanted to sing a song dedicated to the men and women who are so far away from their homes.
The song, Requiem for a Soldier, is a heartbreaking tune that should have deep meaning for anyone who respects their nation's brave fallen heroes. Our allies in Great Britain have gone through a lot, often our own American soldiers have bled and died alongside our friends "across the pond."
From the opening lyrics, "You never lived to see / What you gave to me / One shining dream of hope and love / Life and liberty," my eyes were already welling up with tears.
Jenkins, a successful musician, has recorded 11 studio tracks since she began her career in 2004. And hopefully, with a voice like that, she keeps singing for the rest of her life.
This amazing song made me break down when I heard the powerful words, "With a host of brave unknown soldiers / For your company, you will live forever / Here in our memory."
So please, sit back and listen to this incredible song about the fallen heroes of the past.
Please SHARE this powerful song with your hero-loving friends and family!
