:26:19
It will be tough sledding again
for these Yanks.

:26:22
But the men who smashed
into Salerno from the sea...

:26:25
.. will take their next objective, too,
whatever it may be,...

:26:29
..from Naples to Berlin.
:26:41
Anzio, Bataan, St-Lô, Iwo Jima.:
:26:46
places they had never heard of,
known, nor cared about.

:26:49
They went there and they died there.
:26:52
And now they are home,
wrapped in their country's flag...

:26:56
..and cloaked in their eternal greatness.
:27:14
Names. Yes, Polish and Irish and Jewish
and English names hallow this ground.

:27:20
Names that make up
the great America they died for.

:27:23
A terrible cost, but less, tragically less,
than what we must pay for final victory.

:27:53

:27:56
Of the six of us here
about 4.3 of us would get it.
