BELL RINGER
*The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared. Some
men get over their fright in a minute under fire, some take an hour.
For some it takes days. But the real man never lets the fear of death
overpower his honor, his sense of duty to this country and his innate
manhood.” He also said, “There is one great thing you men will all be
able to say when you go home. You may thank God for it. Thank God,
that at least, thirty years from now, when you are sitting around the
fireside with your grandson on your knees, and he asks you what you
did in the Great War, you won’t have to cough and say, and ‘I shoveled
shit in Louisiana.’ No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say,
‘Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Third Army and a Son-of-aGoddamned-Bitch named George Patton!” - "General George Patton's
Famous D-Day Speech."
