�Don�t you forget that you�re First Marines! Not all the communists in Hell can overrun you!� � Lieutenant General Lewis �Chesty� Puller when surrounded by eight enemy divisions

Chesty was a walking quote, he was a Colonel at the time he said the above.

Also from Chesty Puller at Koto-ri " We've been looking for the enemy for some time. Now, we're surrounded, that simplify's things".
