Breitbart reminded me that:
Today, in 1415, a vastly outnumbered English force under
Henry V annihilated a French Army at Agincourt.
And gave William Shakespeare a reason to write
the
most powerful dramatic speech in the English language
| "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day 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 a-bed 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."
