Memorial Day Weekend Song

We honor the memory of American servicemen and servicewomen who died in all wars this weekend, especially on Memorial Day Monday. One of the best documentaries of World War II was the pioneering "Victory at Sea," which first aired in the early 1950's, with music by composer Richard Rodgers. Here's perhaps the best known piece from that program, "Beneath the Southern Cross" (when you add lyrics, it's "No Other Love Have I"). Enjoy a safe and happy weekend.
