Duet who sang,Purple Heart?

Jim %26amp; 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.

Duet who sang,Purple Heart?
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
