I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in
the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American
character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch — The enemy is
receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or
four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am
determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a
soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his
country —
Victory or Death.

And, hey, you lawyers out there, he was a lawyer!!
Do we have men like this anymore? I like to think we do! Tanto, Tig and the other guy (Tanto’s and Tig’s companion that night) come to mind!
The officers that threw themselves on top of the wounded lady in Dallas do too!
