From "We Were Soldiers!!"

Lt. Col. Hal Moore...

"Look around you...
In the 7th Cavalry, we've got a Captain from Ukraine...another's from Puerto Rico. We've got Japanese, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics....Cherokee Indians!!...Jews, Gentiles...ALL AMERICANS!!

Now, here in the States, some men--in this unit--may experience discrimination becuz of Race...or Creed...fer you and me now, ALL THAT IS GONE!!!

We're moving into the Valley of the Shadow of Death!!...where you will watch the back of the man next to yers...as he will watch yers...and you won't care what color he is or by what name he calls, "GOD"!!

They say we're leaving home...
We're going to what home was always supposed to be!! We are going into battle with a tough, determined ENEMY!! I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive...BUT THIS, I WILL SWEAR...

Before you and whoever you call "God", when we go into battle, I will be the FIRST to step on the field...and I will be the LAST to leave the field!! And I will Leave No Man Behind!!...Dead or Alive...We Will All Come Home Together!!

So Help Me"...MUD
