Soldier Quotes and Quotations
 The king of France with twenty thousand men Went up the hill, and then came down again: The king of Spain with twenty thousand more Climbed the same hill the French had climbed before.  God and a soldier all .people adore In time of war, but not before; And when war is over and all things are righted, God is neglected and an old soldier slighted. Home they brought her warrior dead. How sleep the brave, who sink to rest. By all their country's wishes blest! We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more. Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. For it's Tommy this an' Tommy that, and "Chuck 'im out, the brute." But it's "Savior of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot. It is not the guns or armament Or the money they can pay, It's the close co-operation That makes them win the day. It is not the individual Or the army as a whole, But the everlastin' teamwork Of every bloomin' soul. A soldier is an anachronism of which we must get rid. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on Life's parade shall meet The brave and fallen few. On Fame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. I want to see you shoot the way you shout.
