04:21:03 Ike at microphone, SOF: It happened to be one of those occasions when the position itself was of the upmost importance to the Allied Forces. You in reserve were hurried forward & told to hold that position. All the elements of battle drama were there: you were cut off, you were surrounded. Only valor, complete self-confidence in yourself, in your leaders; the knowledge that you were well trained, only the determination to win can sustain soldiers under those conditions.
