Duet who sang,Purple Heart?!
Question: Jim & Jesse and The Virginia Boys recorded the song "Purple Heart" in the early 1950's I think around 1952 or 1953. The song was a rather sad song about the death of a son who was also a soldier in Korea and was killed in action. Now that was real country music. Thanks for the memories it brought back both happy and sad.

not sure if this is it, but this is what i found
by- Sabaton
When we signed up for the army
to a rangers company
armed with M16’s
straight into the war
Then we served under the banner
clad in US stars an stripes
and on moonless nights
we marched for endless miles
Once we were soldiers
once we were young
we have found our peace
we’ve seen the end
Fallen in war
we belong to history
fallen in war
sleep 6 feet below
Heart of the brave
cannot bring me back to life
fallen in war
still brothers in arms
We have fought in distant conflict
and for all to many years
seen our friends go down
wounded dead or lost
Know that peace comes at a high price
it may take a thousand lives
and a deep belief
sacrifice of men
Shining heart beats no more
buried deep deep in cold earth
shallow grave in my motherland
here I stay lay in darkness forever
