Quotes

  • Just think! If we survive them, these will be the good old days!
  • Okay, Ed, now I've gotten the ice. When are you gonna stand up to McCarthy?
  • Go back, go back, you silly bastards. This ain't our kind of war. This one is for the birds.
  • This seems to me to be more a day for a searching of the human soul perhaps than for any kind of scientific celebration.
  • A single, isolated battle that ranks in magnificence and courage with Guam, Tarawa, Omaha Beach. A story that should be told to the blowing of bugles and the beating of drums for the men whose bravery made the capture of this crossing over the Waal possible.
  • Perhaps the greatest good that will emerge from this Far Eastern crisis is an awareness that freedom-loving men of all races and all nations will have proved that they can and must work and fight together if their freedom is to survive.
