I can't think of one directly, but Gandalf's "far green shore" or "what we do with the time that's given us" would work. The free peoples of Middle Earth lost a lot of heroes defending the rest from the mindless hordes of evil, just as we do today. There were lots of good words for good men falling as they protected the rest of us.
On a more cheerful note, I now have a bit more time to talk about my visit with Mrs. S. yesterday. She said Jason had emailed them the day before that their unit got a brand new Buffalo, which is a high-end armored vehicle for IED work. He said it was the latest model, and still had the "new car smell". It even has leather seats and cupholders. He said he has the nicest ride in the Army.
This must be the result of Bush mismanaging the war, and all the criminal lack of equipment for the troops.
unngghhh...
*snort*
Cupholders, huh? Sounds like a fine ride!
I know the first was in the ROTK movie, and the second one was in FOTR, iirc. But I also know that neither speech occured in the books where they were placed in the movies... and I know it's been discussed before on the thread, but I can't now find either the quotes in the books or the discussion on the threads.
Can anyone post the quotes from the movies, or know where to find them in the books?
