Perhaps it is time again for this:




Hold your ground! Hold your ground!

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me!

A day may come when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves, and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down!

But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear... on this good earth... I bid you stand! Men of the West!

I wonder if the men of the West can even hear poor Aragorn as they run away to enjoy their Starbucks believing if they just don't rile up Sauron, he won't leave the Black Gates and march on Minas Tirath. How utterly naive and dangerous!

That scene in the movies still gives me chills.

Though it's the charge of the Rohirrim that *really* gets me.

*sniff*

Here is a rallying speech that brings chills to my spine:

Virginians!
For your lands! For your homes!
For your sweethearts! For your wives!
For Virginia!
Forward!

General Lewis Armistead, July 3, 1863, Gettysburg.
