Duke: Now then, y’all come here to say your final farewell to ol’ Walt here.

Trapper John: Farewell Walt.

Hawkeye: I just — I just wanna say one thing. Uh, nobody ordered Walt to go on this mission. He volunteered for certain death.

Hawkeye: That’s what we award our highest medals for.

Duke: That’s beautiful.

Hawkeye: That’s what being a soldier is all about.

Trapper: Oh yeah.

Capt. Bandini: Hear! Hear!
