King Henry V, from Shakespeare's history, Henry V.
'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 accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.'
We are a band of brothers with those who meet the danger our country faces.
We are a band of brothers with those who guard our borders.
We are a band of brothers with those who enforce our laws.
We are a band of brothers with those who defend our cause.
We are a band of brothers with those who march on the street.
We are a band of brothers with those who are slandered.
We are a band of brothers with those we have never met.
We are a band of brothers with those who raises their voices to protest.
We are the few, the happy few, because we protect our families.
We are the few, the happy few, because we protect our country.
We are a band of brothers.
