The Speech: "Your fighting sons ...they are splendid in every way"
The excerpts in this post are from this speech, known as the Old Soldiers Never Die speech, delivered on April 19, 1951 before a joint session of Congress by General Douglas Macarthur, upon his retirement and to defend his conduct of the war in Korea.
Kyle Bruns emailed me with the right answer and received the top prize of the complete satisfaction of being the first smart person to respond.
I was struck by how timely much of what Macarthur said is to modern day.
