If your country needs you, you should be right there, that is the way I felt when I was young, and that's the way I feel today.

I think General Pershing was the most military figure I've ever seen.

I was gung-ho, no question about that.

Mr. Buckles has a vivid recollection of historic times, and one way for me to honor the service of those who wear the uniform in the past and those who wear it today is to herald you, sir, and to thank you very much for your patriotism and your love for America.

We cherish the chance to say thank you in person to Cpl. Frank Buckles.

I didn't lie; nobody calls me a liar, I may have increased my age.

If your country needs you, you should be right there, that is the way I felt when I was young, and that's the way I feel today.
