urgent help needed?

I have prepared a slide show of the services for a fallen american hero. This man fell in battle and was laid to rest recently. He was escorted by over 60 patriot guard riders. I am asking fo any input for a sound track to add to the slide show. It will be presented to his parents, wife, and a copy sent to his unit overseas. My hope is that it will help bring closure to those family, friends, and fellow soldiers who were so affected by his death. I am unhappy with the music I chose, and welcome any input from everyone. I ask that you respond quickly, but with respect. No stupid comments please. this is a very serious matter, and this man was a true hero and has earned our respect.

Update:

Additional: May God bless each of you for the wonderful ideas yuhave given me. I will leave the question open a little longer to give others a chance to add their ideas. All of them given so far ar great. I will be listening to each one tonight with the slide show to see which I like best. I will announce the one chosen here before I close the question.

Again, God bles and thank you!!!

    The song some gave all by billey ray cyrus is a great one here are the lyrics. It is a slow song

    I knew a man called him Sandy Kane

    Few folks even knew his name

    But a hero was he

    Left a boy, came back a man

    Still many just don't understand

    About the reasons we are free

    I can't forget the look in his eyes

    Or the tears he cries

    As he said these words to me

    All gave some and some gave all

    And some stood through for the red, white and blue

    And some had to fall

    And if you ever think of me

    Think of all your liberties and recall

    Some gave all

    Now Sandy Kane is no longer here

    But his words are oh so clear

    As they echo through out our land

    For all his friends who gave us all

    Who stood the ground and took the fall

    To help their fellow man

    Love your country and live with pride

    And don't forget those who died America can't you see

    All gave some and some gave all

    And some stood through for the red, white and blue

    And some had to fall

    And if you ever think of me

    Think of all your liberties and recall

    Some gave all

    And if you ever think of me

    Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall

    Some gave all

    Some gave all

    We're in Heaven (Slow Version) I think it's by DJ Sammy.

    American Soldier by Toby Keith

    My top pick would be "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw. It's a really touching song.
