Now we are fighting fight-ing in the greatest cause the world has known. We are fighting fight-ing to free the people of this earth from the most, ruthless, the most savage enemy the world has ever seen. We are dedicating all that we have and all that we are to the combat. We will not stop this side of victory." ' o ' |
