Now I can do no more. We must trust to the Great Disposer of all events and the justice of our cause. I thank God for this opportunity of doing my duty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have done what I felt to be my duty.
I'm just becoming more and more aware of this truly profound responsibility that we carry as individuals. And it's a responsibility not only to ourselves and to our families, but to the billions of people who still have to come in the future who will be dealing with our legacy.
The truth is, everybody falls into an incinerator of some measure or other. Not literally one. The question is what are you going to do with those bad times? Are you just going to let them gnaw at you?
I thought I was going to be killed. The casualties were so heavy, it was just a given. I learned to take each day, each mission, as it came. That's an attitude I've carried into my professional life. I take each case, each job, as it comes.
The sacrifice of the brave men and women of the military and their families allows us to be safe, and we are grateful.
I come all wreathed in a reputation the press has made for me. Judge me on my actions. That's all that counts.
I have to thank the People, the Congress, and the Government of the United States for my liberation.
Do your duty and leave the rest to heaven.
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
The moment for action has arrived, and I know that I can trust in you to save our country.
