Daily Dialogue — April 3, 2014

“Tomorrow we goes into battle, so Lordy, let me fight with the rifle in one hand, and the Good Book in the other. So that if I may die at the muzzle of the rifle… die on water, or on land, I may know that you blessed Jesus almighty are with me… and I have no fear.”
 
 — Glory (1989), screenplay by Kevin Jarre, books by Lincoln Kirstein and Peter Burchard, letters by Robert Gould Shaw

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is prayer.

Trivia: With the exception of Shaw, none of the primary characters are based on real people in the 54th.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Perhaps never a more appropriate time to offer a prayer than in anticipation of going into battle.
