Played baseball in the Bavarian Tiny League with bus trips to other bases for games. Troop 88, BSA, from PAFB had the SAC mailed fist and lightning bolt emblem on our light blue neckerchiefs; most were embroidered in full color by our Mothers. The Secretary of the Air Force had to approve the design!
“Whoever does not have the stomach for this fight. Let him depart. Give him money to speed his departure, since we wish not to die in this man’s company. Who ever lives past today and comes home safely will rouse himself every year on this day. Show his neighbor his scars and tell embellished stories of all their great feats of battle. These stories will teach his son, and from this day until the end of the world, we shall be remembered, we few, we band of brothers for whoever has shed his blood with me shall be my brother, and those men afraid to go will think themselves, lesser men as they hear of how we fought and died together..”
