'Earlier this evening, General Hollister
was honoured by his alma mater,'

:32:09
'the Marine Military Institute.'
:32:12
'At the banquet tonight,
MMI dedicated the Hollister Exhibit'

:32:15
'in their Memorial Hall,'
:32:18
'the General thereby
joining other select alumni'

:32:21
'who have distinguished themselves
in the defence of their country.'

:32:24
'General Hollister
was given a standing ovation.'

:32:28
'If any man in recent memory
may be said to have had charisma,'

:32:32
'certainly, that man was
General Martin J Hollister.'

:32:36
'Early on in the Korean War,
as a colonel commanding armoured cavalry,'

:32:41
'Hollister captured the imagination
of the American people.'

:32:45
'His courage, his brilliance
in improvising in the heat of battle,'

:32:49
'his colourful garb of riding britches,
boots and pearl-handled Colt.45'

:32:54
'soon earned him the nickname
The Iron Horseman.'

:32:58
'Later, as a brigadier general
with his own division,'

:33:02
'he distinguished himself
by a daring end run in which,'

:33:05
'out of ammunition, using only his
famous pistol and a monumental bluff,'

:33:11
'he succeeded in capturing the opposing
enemy commander and his headquarters.'

:33:17
'Finally, a land mine accomplished
what nothing else could -'

:33:21
'put General Hollister out of action
with severe wounds,'

:33:25
'wounds that necessitated
his untimely retirement from active duty'

:33:30
'as one of the youngest major generals
in this nation's military history.'

:33:38
'On the foreign scene,
the Secretary of State again reiterated'

:33:41
'the United States' determination
to keep troop levels in Europe stable.'

:33:45
'In reply to sharp Senate...'
:33:49
You still think he could
shoot someone for no reason?

:33:52
He's practically on Mount Rushmore.
:33:55
You didn't even recognise him.
:33:57
I was in a state of shock. I didn't
expect him to show up on our doorstep.
