I ws watching part of this last night on F/X.
I forgot how much I love this movie.......it rules.....
and Bill Pulman's speech near the end.....possibly the best speech in a movie ever.........
Good morning. In less than one
hour planes from here and all
around the world will launch the
largest aerial battle in the
history of mankind...
Mankind. The word has new meaning
for all of us now. We are
reminded not of our petty
differences but of our common
interests.
Perhaps it's fate that today, July
the Fourth, we will once again
fight for our freedom. Not from
tyranny, persecution or
oppression. But from
annihilation. We're fighting for
our right to live, to exit. From
this day on, the fourth day of
July will no longer be remembered
as an American holiday but as the
day that all of mankind declared
we will not go quietly into the
night. We will not vanish without
a fight. We will live on. We
will survive.
