I put this question to a bunch of my colleagues and friends and will
undoubtedly have a nice long answer for you shortly.
Off the top of my head, though, I came up with a few:
Battleground
God Is My Co-Pilot
Objective Burma
Forty Seconds Over Tokyo
You should also check Jeanine Basinger's book
As I recall, there's an interesting although brief sequence of
soldiers participating in a post-battle mass in Apocalypse Now. I
believe it happens after one of the two battles featuring Robert
Duvall's character.
I remember it being pretty loaded visually, with a lamb (or maybe a
calf?
I think the movie BATAAN has a scene with Robert Walker praying right before
he's killed...but I can't remember if he's actually praying or if it's just a
prayer-like moment. Also SEVENTH HEAVEN with Jimmy Stewart right before he
loses his sight.

Actually I think there are several prayer scenes in BATAAN - one is by a
Spanish soldier as I recall.

There's a prayer scene in the movie BATTLEGROUND, about a group of
soldiers defending the city of Bastogne. A priest leads a quick battlefield
prayer session. When the artlillery starts going off, he coments on how they
are 'hitting the bass notes.
