General George S. Patton Quote

Answer 1

“The troops I have commanded have always been well dressed, been smart saluters, been prompt and bold in action because I have personally set the example…The influence one man can have on thousands is a never-ending source of wonder to me. You are always on parade.”
- General George S. Patton, USA

Question 2

Father Dennis Edward O’Brien Quote

Answer 2

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.”
- Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC
