Every scene mentioned above me
One scene that still strikes me. Is when Pvt. Jupiter Sharts is showing off his shooting skills to the platoon at the range. And Col Shaw teaches the men a very important lesson about the stresses of being on the battlefield.
This is one of the most moving movies I have ever seen. I remember every second of watching this movie in 6th grade. -

Many good scenes already mentioned. I like right before the final battle, where Shaw reviews his men. No words, just the music and his approving smile. It says so much about all they did to get to this point.
And in that scene, I like the last exchange between Thomas and Robert. He says, "I'll see you in the fort, Thomas." To me, it says, "I know you've grown up. We both have. But you're still my friend." -

Another good scene that required no dialogueColonel Shaw looking out to sea before the final battle as if taking it all in one last time. When he released his horse, you knew he didn't plan on surviving the assault. Makes my eyeballs sweaty every-time.

Everything you all said
Including the scene when Sgt Maj Mulcahy salutes the troops during the parade. Shows that he was incredibly hard on them, but proud of the turn out.
"We grew up together"
-"Then let him grow some more."

OMG, so many favorites!
The lovely call and response scene under the tree at night, with the preaching by the stammerer and by Morgan.
Morgan slapping Trip in the face and telling him some home truths about what a bullying jerk Trip was.
The quartermaster scene ("You nasty little cuss").
I choked up when the same guys who had a fight with Trip earlier, saw them passing into the defile, and the main white guy shouted "Give 'em Hell, 54th". -

There are too many scenes to mention. But I would like to mention several of my choices:
- the opening montage in its entirety is such a beautiful and powerful evocation of the experiences of Union soldiers in camp, marching, trudging through rain, passing escaped slaves and going into the battle. It builds up to a climax when depicting the scenes at Antietam. The whole is about as close to cinematic poetry as I have ever seen.
- when the troops come to Beaufort South Carolina and Morgan Freeman talks to a bunch of young (former) slaves. He says 'that's right hon, we're runaway slaves, come back as fighting men' What an accomplishment
