No Soldier Ever Really Survives A War.

I Knew Why I Felt At Home. The Spirit Of Freedom Was Hovering Over That Play Yard As It Did All Over France At That Time. A Country Was Free Again.

I Never Liked Being Called The 'most Decorated' Soldier. There Were So Many Guys Who Should Have Gotten Medals And Never Did-- Guys Who Were Killed.

I'll Tell You What Bravery Really Is. Bravery Is Just Determination To Do A Job That You Know Has To Be Done.

Now I Have Shed My First Blood. I Feel No Qualms, No Pride, No Remorse. There Is Only A Weary Indifference That Will Follow Me Throughout The War.

Actual Combat Experience Is The Only Teacher. You Never Come Out Of A Skirmish Without Having Picked Up A Couple Of New Tricks; Without Having Learned More About Your Enemy...total Involvement With The War Was The Only Thing That Kept Me Alive And Pushing.
