Today is Memorial Day in America, a day we remember those service men and women
in all wars who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We
gratefully honor their service.
As has been a tradition with us, we're recognizing Memorial Day with "Beneath the Southern Cross," part of the original Richard Rodgers soundtrack for the NBC "Victory at Sea" World War II documentary series from the early 1950s. The title refers to the constellation Crux (or Southern Cross) easily visible in the South Pacific. The RCA Victor Orchestra led by Robert Russell Bennett performs the song, also familiarly known as "No Other Love Have I."

A great song choice. I remember that album in my parents record collection and even as a kid I enjoyed it. from an old hard of hearing Army Artilleryman (MOS 13B40) I wish everyone a safe
and thoughtful Memorial Day.
Seafury -- we have similar memories from the original Victory at Sea tv series. Safe and thoughtful Memorial Day to you and yours, too.
