Every student in America and every person that wants to become an American should be required to watch Band of Brothers .

For my Grandfather. Born in England 1890, died in France 1916. I never knew you and your son, my father, had no memory of you. But you ARE remembered. R.I.P.

To my father, who came ashore at Omaha Beach on 6 June 1944 and who lived with that fact until the day he died. He and his generation were the reason I followed him into uniform and served for almost 30 years. RIP Dad and for you and you brethren of the Greatest Generation: May God Bless and Keep you Always, and may you never be forgotten.

To my grandfather who was a WWII veteran. Passed away at age 85 in 2002.🌷

To my father who was crippled in the run-up to D-Day, died a premature death in 1970, and never got to see his grandson, born on June 6, 1994, 50 years to the day after D-Day. .

This is so heavenly. and this sentence or dialog i will never forget. "Grandpa, were you a hero?" "No, but i served in a company of heroes."

I'm french, and i'll never forgot them, those heros ... for ever

"you never lived to see what you gave to me" first line,that is powerful stuff

Richard Winters, RIP

I must cry when i hear that !!! All soldiers are brothers in their hearts!

To my father who has been a ghost in my life. An armored infantryman in Patton's Third Army, he was severely wounded in his neck and lower back by shrapnel from a German potato masher. He never recovered and ultimately took his own life when I was two. May the Almighty bless and keep the families who have lost a soldier/family member in war. 😔

Remembering my Uncle Douglas , Raf , Killed in Action , Singapore ,aged 19 , RIP

A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and a stirring tribute to those who died in defense of freedom. BRAVO! Ms. Jenkins!

The tears just come automatic when this song comes on. RIP Major, we want to thank you for being an inspiration for men and women all across the world. Im from Norway and I really, really hope that these men are still honored in the United States today.

If you can listen to this without tearing up, you aren't human. Beautiful. Those men were a special group the likes of which will doubtful to be seen again in any of our lifetimes.

The goosebumps factor on this piece, and the whole series for that part, is enormous. Truly amazing.

While visiting Normandy France with my family back in November 2019 I thought about all the soldiers (boys) that died on the very ground I was freely able to walk on, and thought about this song alot.. It brought tears to my eyes and shiver up my spine at same time… What terribly brave for them take on at 18,19,20 years old.. I just say what honor and thank you to all of you that sacrificed so much for our freedom.. God bless all those buried in those cemeteries..❤

R.I,P. My Grandfather died in France 1916, my father had no memory of him.

“Today the word "hero" has been diminished. confused with "celebrity." But in my father's generation the word meant something. celebrities seek fame. They take actions to get attention. Most often, the actions they take have no particular moral content. Heroes are heroes because they have risked something to help others. Their actions involve courage. Often, those heroes have been indifferent to the public's attention. But at least, the hero could understand the focus of the emotion.” ― James D. Bradley

I always felt that the heroes were not the guys who got the parades, like Eisenhower, MacArthur. They were, after all, career soldiers whose job was to fight wars. And, in some cases, never heard a shot fired in anger. The heroes are the guys who didn't want to be there but did it anyway. Some were good soldiers, some probably not so good, but they were there when it counted.

You never lived to see What you gave to me One shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty With a host of brave unknown soldiers For your company, you will live forever Here in our memory In fields of sacrifice Heroes paid the price Young men who died for old men's wars Gone to paradise We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see we can live together When all the world is free I wish you'd lived to see All you gave to me Your shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see - we can live together When all the world is free

Band of Brothers ... yet another gem given to the English language by William Shakespeare

Brought tears to my eyes. I can’t express in words the emotions that come to mind when I think of the sacrifices these brave men fighting for freedom. God Bless them all, may they never be forgotten 🇺🇸

The last soldier of Easy died. May the company rest in peace.

I think Katherine Jenkins has the most beautiful voice on the planet and she makes me tear up on this song.

R.I.P William Guarnere who passed away March 8th 2014

To my uncles Jim and Lawson who were WWII veterans. They sacrificed their youth for us.

Thank you 101st. Thank you to the unsung Algerian heros. Thank you to the British Armed forces. The French and German resistance. And to those especially who fought against the Nazis without weapons. Who gave there lives so that we may live is a free world. love that is simply free is a wonderful thing - Sophie Scholl Es Lebe Die Freiheit long Live Freedom

I was going to read the lyrics aloud to my daughter, and I had to stop after "you never lived to see what you gave to me"--crying. Just like the miniseries, this is beautiful and powerful.

💜🙏it hurts to think of the loss of all our young 😭😭😭💜🙏

You never lived to see What you gave to me One shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty With a host of brave unknown Soldiers For your company, you will live forever Here in our memory In fields of sacrifice Heroes paid the price Young men who died for old men's wars Gone to paradise We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see we can live together When all the world is free I wish you'd lived to see All you gave to me Your shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see - we can live together When all the world is free

heroes you will never be forgotten, R.I.P all allies and axis soldiers...you were defending your country best you could... only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato

"when you go home tell them of us......."

You did it. you made me cry...

Requiem For A Soldier" You never lived to see What you gave to me One shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty With a host of brave unknown soldiers For your company, you will live forever Here in our memory In fields of sacrifice Heroes paid the price Young men who died for old men's wars Gone to paradise We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see we can live together When all the world is free I wish you'd lived to see All you gave to me Your shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see - we can live together When all the world is free

To Dave who lost his father at the age of two god bless you for your comments no one can imagine his suffering

Every year there are two series that I watch at about this time....November. "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" I NEVER want to forget the sacrifices that the "Greatest Generation" made for the rest of us still living. My dad, God rest his soul, was a WWII Marine that served in the Island Campaign to defeat Japan. My family's long-gone best friend went ashore with the Army during the Normandy Campaign during WWII and fought all the way to Germany. God rest his soul. Growing up in the late 1950s through the 2000s these were my friends, the Greatest Generation. I learned so much from them. I relished their stories from the war and from the Great Depression. My last friend from that generation passed in 2016. Most of that generation has left us now. I feel so all alone and sad. God bless you and thank you..............

A must listen on Memorial Day

When I watch this show or hear the music I often cry, I wish i were as brave as these men.

"When all the world is free.." Yes, but when will we ever learn?

Beautiful song - beautiful singer - beautifully sung...................

WE STAND ALONE TOGETHER

Who's cutting onions?

For whosever sheds his blood with me this day shall my brother be, be he ne'er so base....we few, we happy few. We band of brothers.

It makes you humble ... when you realize how many gave their lives without hesitation to grant us freedom.

As an American, I accept, and am flattered by your praise. Your post here is one of the most thoughtful and honorable tributes to our nation's sacrifice in Europe that could be written. As long as there are brave men like you wiling to sacrifice their lives for freedom, it will never perish!

Lipton, Perconte, and so many others... RIP

God bless 'em. Every one.

From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be rememberèd- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me This is all soldiers not only in world wars

Amen Cruzer...Panama Ed, Nam class of '73, Marines

The beauty of this song should not only invoke praise, but a call to be higher and better than we are today. The part of the world that is free is threatened quite deeply by the part of it that is dark, and unless a new generation of heroes arises, songs like this will do nothing more than hail a forgotten memory. Memories of historical heroism are not meant to be nice pretty sentimental recollections we can all dreamily wish the world would return to. No. Those memories are preserved as a call to duty, honor, and country for every civilian that are recollected in history by force rather than by choice only when people of their own free will choose to forget them.

I can't name a single piece of contemporary music that is moving enough to put a tear in a man's eye. But then again, not a lot of contemporary music can be as beautiful as this piece.

What an incredible woman!!! Most beautiful woman with the most beautiful voice on the planet. I listen to some Katherine just about every day. Love this particular hairstyle on her.

To all the men and women who served, are serving, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, Thank you.

All Soldiers of WW2 (Americans,Germans,British,Japanese,French,...) Rest In Peace! ;) P.S.: Nice music!

To my dad who fought in Northern Africa and Sicily in WWII who never liked to talk about what he saw or who he killed. Who lived to 93. My son now has his medals from the war and treasures them.

Such Pain! My sister's grandson was killed Afghanistan on her birthday! It was a tough time! She grieved severely!

It’s hard to listen to the words of this song and not get choked up

It's really something that most of the comments here are from men who aren't afraid shed a tear for someone they knew who lost their lives protecting us. P.I.P. and thank you for your service!

This is the first time I've heard KATHERINE JENKINS sing. Yes,I've been under a rock. Absolutely a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel! She could sing her way through the phone book and I'd sit there enjoying every minute. I'm a fan!!!

Watching Band of brothers has made me look at the world in a different light. It really spoke to my heart.

Such a beautiful sentiment. Free of human malignancy and speaks about genuine values which the soldiers of the Commonwealth and the States thought for. Liberty and freedom, only history could taint such a vision. Young men flying the colours of their country high, glistening with ideals and patriotism they go fight the wars of their country, for other generations to do it all over again. Will my generation experience total war ? I hope not, but fate is ferocious and violent.

You never lived to see What you gave to me Your shining dream of hope and love Life and liberty With a host of brave unknown soldiers For your company you will live forever Here in our memory In fields of sacrifice Heroes paid the price Young men who died for old men's wars Gone into paradise We are all one great band of brothers And one day you'll see we can live together When all the world is free

No matter the nationality of the soldier, it be German or Polish, American or Japanese, British or Italian, Russian or Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, French or any other during WWII, every soldier had only one goal in mind. TO serve their country. And no matter the nationality of the soldier, each soldier did his job every well, to defend and serve their country. Each soldiers of each nation did that to the best of his abiliities I think we can all agree.

To my father WW2 veteran who served in the Pacific. He never recovered from what he went through. May you rest in peace

RIP all Americans who have fought and suffered wars of centurys and more...Thank you

to all men and women of the u.s. military THANK AND GOD BLESS

Unfortunately for many other companies and squads, the only company that most of us speak of was this one, the only one we really got to see their stories and get a good idea of their state of mind during some engagements, and see interpretations about what happened to them during their tour of duty, and they experienced more than we would ever see in our lifetime in 2 days time or less, and they did that for many years. I still go back and look at some of the nice tribute videos to the different men of easy company that have passed on now, and also to see other stories from the wars morbid i know but the stories them self are not morbid in anyway they show a love for their fellow soldiers and that they are indeed a band of brothers.

My father landed on Normandy and fought thru France, Holland, and Belgium into the Ardennes and Battle of the Bulge. He received the Belgian Croix de Guerre. He never talked about the war while I was growing up. When I joined the Navy, he then would talk to me, but not my siblings. This is a beautiful song but I couldn't understand a word she sang. Great voice, though.

A beautiful ballad about a time when America was strong from without and from within. God help us and forgive us for how far we've fallen and for what we've become. The days of the Greatest Generation are no more.

so beautiful

This requiem is deeply moving and is a befitting tribute to the soldiers of World War II and those of all wars modern and old who gave their lives on the battlefield.

You never lived to see... What you gave to me. One shining dream of hope and love... Life and liberty. With a host of brave unknown soldiers. For your company, you will live forever, Here in our memory.

that was beautiful!

what a wonderful voice she has....

I am totally impressed with this lady. Not only does she sing like an angel and beautiful, she also has a heart like Florence Nightingale. I found out she visited Afghanistan and Iraq numerous times to visit British Soldiers to lift their spirits. If only US soldiers can be so lucky.

To be sure : I am absolelutely against war and death and mayhem. But I will never never never accept that someone tramples on the graves off those many young lives lost in useless battles. We can only respect the sacrifie those young soldiers made . A big respectfull reminder to them

Dont forget The US Marines did alot too, just on the other end of the world

Amazing voice

For my Father who was DDay+15, 103rd Timberwolves. Purple Heart Recipient, it wasn’t until after he passed in 95, I learned he spent 100 days in a Field Hospital in Belgium. I knew he had been shot, he never talked about the convalescence.

Thx to all soldiers who gave their lives for the freedom. All U.S troops who died in France and the other: my respects ! Bless you all

Great War Drama Series on earth...?

Grandfather, it is true that the war and was a hero? No, but I fought in a company of heroes

Totally off the scale, unbelievable voice, now, THAT is singing, I doubt anyone in the top 4000 of any music charts could hit those notes.

What an angel voice! This Requiem is so emotional😢

Beautiful song and amazing salute to all those past and present who would hold the line against wrong doing. Just a shame tho that the rest of us squander their sacrifice and gifts by repeating the same stupid over and over, separated only by unsurmountable gulfs of a generation or less and our own hubris and arrogance.

Respect !

I got to meet one of Jimmy Doolittle’s last raiders a few years ago. I asked him what motivated you? He said “I don’t think I knew, beyond that some bad people needed some real hurting.”

...."All gave some, some gave all. And we all pass into the pages of history" ...(K.V.L - USN, Volunteer WW2 1924-2005 - RIP)

0:18 Reminds me of Medal of Honor

to my fellows... I belong to the most powerful Army of the Kosmos. The Lord of Hosts Army... the God of the Celestial Holy Army. Thanks to all...

The lyrics really give words to what we felt hearing this track. Its pretty genius, how tension arrives at the mention of sacrifice, how the harmony is resolved when the soldiers live "in our memory" and how triumphant it becomes at mention of unity. Genius

God bless the Infantry...and all of you :) I still serve too She is an angel..I saw her in Basrah in Christmas 2006...my lads luved her..she had time for all of them...a great lass.. Jim.

''No fui un Héroe de la Guerra(2ª Guerra Mundial) pero estuve en una compañía de Héroes'' Mayor Richard ''Dick'' Winters Una de sus mejores frases!!

My great-grandfather fought for Germany. He had to go to the Wehrmacht, otherwise he were killed by the Nazis. He lost one of his legs. He died before my birth. R. I. P. to all soldiers and victims of the war. Greetings from Germany. :)

wow have a round of applause for this amazing performance

For my father RN 1940-1954 and his brothers also RN. My father was off shore during d-day, he never talked about his experience except with his friends also veterans. My father died in 1992 from MND. Sgt William Forester RAF KIA 1943.
