I'm glad that it didn't take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it's taken this series. I'd begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air.

And freedom is what America means to the world.

No soldier ever really survives a war.

Actual combat experience is the only teacher. You never come out of a skirmish without having picked up a couple of new tricks; without having learned more about your enemy...Total involvement with the war was the only thing that kept me alive and pushing.

I Knew why I felt at home. The spirit of freedom was hovering over that play yard as it did all over France at that time. A country was free again.

I'll tell you what bravery really is. Bravery is just determination to do a job that you know has to be done.

They were singing in French, but the melody was freedom and any American could understand that.
