“Well, on the official record youre my son. But on this post youre just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you....

Its a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”

“Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming oer us!”
