Famous quotes containing the words command and/or flag:
“By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!”

“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
