I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great
pride – humility in the weight of those great architects of our

history who have stood here before me. I am closing my 52 years
of military service. When I joined the army, even before the turn
of the century, it was the fulfillment of all of my boyish hopes

and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took
the oath at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have all since
vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most
popular barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most
proudly that: “Old soldiers never die – they just fade away.” And

like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career
rostrum োױ
humility ѿࣚ and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God
pride ੗ӛब
gave him the light to see that duty.
