One of my favorites was by US NAVY Chaplain Howell Forgy during the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941. “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.” The quote inspired a song.
In addition to Dan Daly’s quote at the battle of Belleau Wood is the quote by Capt. Lloyd Williams when told by a French officer to retreat. He answered, “Retreat Hell, we just got here.” He was Capt. of the 51st Co., 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. 2nd Battalion, 5th Regiment is the most highly decorated battalion in the US Marine Corps and it’s motto is still, “Retreat,Hell!” in honor of Capt. Williams who died nine days later in the brutal battle.
