Retreat Hell! We just got here.
Bless you Fubi for this post.
I welled up reading this post and glad to hear that there are folks in the company who are dedicated to ensuring that such events are handled smoothly.
Prayers to the Marine's family and his service is appreciated.
Retreat Hell! We just got here.
"On May 28th, 1918, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines of the 4th Marine Brigade were sent to help in the Belleau Wood sector. As they were approaching they were met by the French Commander of the troops that were already there who advised Marine Colonel Wendell C. Neville that the discreet thing to do was retreat. Neville's reply was a characteristic "Retreat Hell! We just got here!" They stayed and drove the numerically superior Germans out of Belleau Wood and other strong holds. It was here that the ferocious fighting that the Marines displayed caused the Germans to start referring to the Marines as "Teufelhunden", which means, "Devil Dogs"."
