Gen. Douglas MacArthur's "Old Soldiers Never Die"
Address to congress, 19 April 1951 His speech, reproduced here, is best known for its final lines in which he quoted an old army ballad: "'Old soldiers never die--they just fade away.' And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away--an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-bye." |
