Love the comment from Mark Clark, regarding their performance in Italy:
General Marshall...gave me very strict personal instructions...to report to him immediately the outcome in your first baptism of fire. After your first engagement, I said, "They performed magnificently on the field of battle. I've never had such fine soldiers. Send me all you got."
General Mark W. Clark
