American Troops

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or troops:

    Americans are overreaching; overreaching is the most admirable and most American of the many American excesses.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)

    But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
