1:06:03
We will survive this war.
1:06:07
And we will have a child.
1:06:10
So help us, God.
1:06:37
This is a hell of a regiment.
1:06:40
Men of the 20th Maine Regiment
of Volunteers...
1:06:44
...this is your commanding officer,
Colonel Adelbert Ames.
1:06:49
Quiet! Quiet!
1:06:51
You do not cheer an officer.
1:06:54
You salute him.
1:06:57
20th Maine, I commend you
for the enthusiasm...
1:07:00
...that has made you volunteer
for service in Lincoln's Army.
1:07:04
I can see that many of you are strong and fit.
1:07:07
We Maine men know that
life in the woods of Maine...
1:07:11
...toughens the muscles
and stretches the sinews.
1:07:14
I've no doubt many of you
have become good shots by hunting deer.
1:07:17
But tough muscles and skillful shooting
are not enough to make a soldier.
1:07:22
That requires discipline.
1:07:26
Major Gilmore tells me you are in the habit of
holding discussions with your officers.
1:07:30
That will cease from now.
1:07:33
An officer's orders are to be obeyed
instantly and without question.
1:07:39
This regiment must learn
to move as one man.
1:07:44
Otherwise we will all be killed.
1:07:53
Sergeant Tom Chamberlain
reporting for duty, sir.
1:07:56
Tom, what on earth...?
What are you doing?
1:07:58
I signed up, Lawrence, I'm in this regiment.
I'm coming with you.
