"Dogface Soldier"
Hart and Gold wrote Dogface Soldier "out of respect to the grunts that pride we Americans... in every conflict."
This song's instrumental music served as the theme song for the 1956 movie "To Hell and Back", the story of Audie Murphy, America's most decorated hero. The song was originally intended for the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division.
In 19__ the Kentucky History Center dedicated a memorial to "Dogface Soldier"; the memorial is permanently displayed at the center in Frankfort, Kentucky.

“For here the lover and killer are mingled
who had one body and one heart.
And death who had the soldier singled
has done the lover mortal hurt.”
