Today, we salute the service of the late General Colin Powell. The son of Jamaican immigrants, Gen. Powell started his U.S. Army career as a 2nd Lieutenant and rose to become one of the greatest leaders in Army history. We offer this performance of "Precious Lord," from General Powell's funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., as a tribute to life and service. Featuring Sgt. First Class Adiza Jibril, The U.S. Army Chorus. | The United States Army Band
