Famous quotes containing the words soldiers and, soldiers and/or generals:

    “The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must not—will not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief.... Confederate soldiers and their descendants are to share with us and our descendants the destiny of America. Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle- field, they have all one rank in my eyes.”
    —Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821)

    “It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
