This was such a touching, moving presentation!!! I sobbed. After this sequence they showed a bugler playing Taps, and then Vince Gill singing Go Rest High on that Mountain. My Dad was a Korean War vet and we played the Vince Gill song at his funeral

I wondered the same thing--beautiful piece of music for a touching story.

@@BarbaraH06 It is Pie Jesu. Many covers by various artists. One of my favorites is Jackie Evancho.
