Thank you for sharing Lt Col Charlie Brown the music video of Just A Common Soldier, also known as A Soldier Died Today, is one of the most popular poems on the Internet. Written and published in 1987 by Canadian veteran and columnist A. Lawrence Vaincourt, it now appears in numerous anthologies, on thousands of websites and on July 4, 2008 it was carved into a marble monument at West Point, New York. This year marks the poem’s 25th anniversary.

You are right, it is great. I have seen a lot of the pictures but the man talking rings so true. My Dad was a WW2 vet, He was over there about 9 months before he was hit. Lived it the rest of his life.
