Those first Army patriots and the American Revolution 288 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 4: fought against a fearsome enemy and impossible arts. But they 289 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 4: were armed with a righteous cause. They were led by 290 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 4: an indomitable commander, a truly great man, General George Washington, 291 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 4: and they were united by an eternal creed.

Over the past two and a 293 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 4: half centuries, our warriors have shown unrivaled valor on fields 294 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 4: a battle around the globe. With the frostbitten feet and 295 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 4: bloody fist, they have marched into the flames and fury 296 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: of combat, charged up mountain, stormed beaches, waded through torrents 297 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 4: of gunfire, and leaped into skies thick with smoke and shrapnel. 298 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 4: The US Army has driven bayonets into the heart of 299 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 4: sinister empires, crushed the ambitions of evil tyrants beneath the 300 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 4: threads of American tanks. It's done so well, It's done 301 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 4: so much, and sent the devil himself flying into full retreat. 302 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 4: Time and again. America's enemies have learned that if you 303 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 4: threatened the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. 304 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 4: Your defeat will be certain, your demise will be final, 305 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 4: and your downfall will be total and complete. Because our 306 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 4: soldiers never give up, never surrender, and never ever quit. 307 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 4: They fight, fight, fight, and they win, win, win. And 308 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 4: that's why no institution in history has entered more names 309 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 4: into the roster of American heroes than the US Army, 310 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 4: the Congressional Medal of Honor, more than anyone or anything. 311 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 4: There was Mad Anthony Wayne, asked by George Washington to 312 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 4: lead a daring midnight rate up the cliffs of Stony 313 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 4: Point with unloaded muskets and only their bayonets to fight 314 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 4: the Redcoats. Mad Anthony replied, issue the order, sir, and 315 00:33:53,160 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 4: I will storm into hell for you. Then there was 316 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 4: the Civil War General John Course. Shot in the face 317 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 4: in combat, he fired off a message to his commander, 318 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 4: I am short at cheek bone and one ear, but 319 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 4: I am able to whip the hell out of all 320 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 4: of them. He stayed on the front lines, it seemed forever. 321 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 4: In World War Two, there was the Great Creighton Abrams, 322 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 4: besieged on all sides by the Nazis at the Battle 323 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 4: of the Bulge. He boldly proclaimed, they've got us surrounded again, 324 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 4: the poor bastards. This is the fighting spirit and unyielding 325 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 4: force of the US Army. It has never changed, and 326 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 4: it will never ever change, because there is no earthly 327 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 4: force more powerful than the brave heart of a us 328 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 4: In freeman or an Army ranger, paratrooper or Greenborough. They 329 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 4: are the best, They are the finest. From Bunker Hill 330 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 4: to San Juan Hill, from Gettysburg to Guadalcanal, from Yorktown 331 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 4: to Shiloh, and from the trenches of the Aragon to 332 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 4: the mountains of Afghanistan, the Army has forged a legacy 333 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 4: of unmatched courage, untold sacrifice, and unequaled and undying glorian. 334 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 4: Our soldiers have poured out their blood by the bucketful 335 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 4: on missionary ridge and heartbreak ridge, on the sands of Sicily, 336 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 4: Normandy and the Philippines, and on the dusty streets of 337 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 4: dan Nang, Baghdad and Felujia.
