"I may leave the Shenandoah

But she'll never leave my heart.

Stone Wall country

Clear-eyed daughter of the stars."

Is this a southern thing?

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

It's the opening line from a play titled "Stonewall Country" which used to play at the Lime Kiln Theater in Lexington, VA. Really an awesome play at an awesome venue that stopped playing in 2004, but then was brought back because of a huge outcry of the locals and continued to play for 5 more years until it ended in 2009 after a 25 year run of sold out crowds every night every year (or something like that).

“From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
― William Shakespeare, Henry V

“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country”
― George S. Patton Jr.

“The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”
― Colin Powell

“Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.”
― Winston Churchill

Our hero, our hero, claims a warriors heart.

I tell you, I tell you, the dragonborn comes.

With a voice wielding power of the ancient Nord art,

Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes.

It's an end to the evil, of all Skyrim's foes.

Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes.

For the darkness has passed, and the legend yet grows,

You'll know, you'll know the Dragonborns come.

Dovahkiin, dovahkiin

naal ok zin los vahriin

wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!

ahrk fin norok paal graan

fod nust hon zindro zaan

dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!
