I Came Through And I Shall Return.

Never Ask Age Of A Woman.

Americans Never Quit.

I Came Out Of Bataan And I Shall Return!

The President Of The United States Ordered Me To Break Through The Japanese Lines And Proceed From Corregidor To Australia For The Purpose, As I Understand It, Of Organizing The American Offensive Against Japan, A Primary Objective Of Which Is The Relief Of The Philippines. I Came Through And I Shall Return.

By Profession I Am A Soldier And Take Pride In That Fact. But I Am Prouder - Infinitely Prouder - To Be A Father. A Soldier Destroys In Order To Build; The Father Only Builds, Never Destroys. The One Has The Potentiality Of Death; The Other Embodies Creation And Life. And While The Hordes Of Death Are Mighty, The Battalions Of Life Are Mightier Still. It Is My Hope That My Son, When I Am Gone, Will Remember Me Not From The Battle Field But In The Home Repeating With Him Our Simple Daily Prayer, Our Father Who Art In Heaven.
