Great companion to movie and score

"To those familiar with Mel's score and soundtrack (songs inspired by...) on the film, "The Passion of the Christ", it appears Mel and crew first acheived this with the "We Were Soldiers" film and succeeds. This is a great companion to both the movie and the score (even has a fuller version of the Sgt. MacKenzie song). As many other reviewers have attested, the songs capture well the feelings soldiers and their families must go through during a time of war. To me this CD is not only a fitting tribute to the Veterans of the Vietnam War, but also to those Brave Men and Women currently fighting to protect our freedoms in Iraq, Afghanistan and all around the world."
