"War is brutish, inglorious, and a terrible waste...……" — Eugene B. Sledge

"War is brutish, inglorious, and a terrible waste... The only redeeming factors were my comrades' incredible bravery and their devotion to each other. Marine Corps training taught us to kill efficiently and to try to survive. But it also taught us loyalty to each other - and love. That espirit de corps sustained us."

— Eugene B. Sledge
