I was checking out a TV show on the History Channel Called “Band of Brothers,” it was pretty good, it was about WW2.
Anyway at the very end of the show, they interviewed the real soldiers, and this one guy talked about The St. Crispen’s day speech from Henry V and I thought I would blog an excerpt here. Why, because I like it.
This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
