[General Campbell gives his retirement speech to the dinner table]
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell:
Thank you, all. As you know, my official retirement isn't until next week. But this here, now, tonight with you is my real retirement. Because you and I have known fear together, shed blood together, battled pain and suffering and all of their foot soldiers. We know there is no glamour in sudden death and that no one ever wins a war, and it is that knowledge that will bind us together forever. That, and a love for this country that no bayonet can pierce, no bullet shatter.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell:
[the General holds up his drink] To you.
