Beautifully performed here by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Leonard Slatkin. This is the soundtrack over the climactic scene from Platoon, Oliver Stone’s film about the Vietnam War. Offered here for all of the fallen in all wars.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly… this is my way. (Anonymous)
