    For all the boundless universe
    Is Life—there are no dead!
    —John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)

    Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.
    James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)

    For all the boundless universe
    Is Life—there are no dead!
    —John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)

    They are not dead! They have but passed
    Beyond the mists that blind us here
    Into the new and larger life
    Of that serener sphere.
    —John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)
