Westmoreland. Oh, that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England That do no work today! Henry. What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin. If we are marked to die, we are enow to To do our country loss, and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honor. God's will! I pray thee wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost. It yearns me not if men my garments wear, Such outward things dwell not in my desires. But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England. God's peace! I would not lose so great an honor As one man more, methinks, would share from me For the best hope I have. Oh, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart. His passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse. We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day and comes safe home Will stand a-tiptoe when this day is named And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day and see old age Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors And say, " Tomorrow is Saint Crispian." Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say " These wounds I had on Crispin's Day." Old men forget, yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words, Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man teach his son, And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered— We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother. Be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen in England now abed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day. (Henry V, Act IV, Scene III)

we will "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." And that original speech concludes with: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. "Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. "With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own." -- JFK Climber
