I am actually working on this for an assignment, but I am not having any luck. So, at this point, I am looking at this as a learning opportunity. I would love to know if anyone knows the source of this quote, and if you wouldn't mind teaching me a little - I would love to know how you found it. Thanks!!!
I believe the quote is: "Those who march into battle with songs of freedom on their lips are invincible." Again - thank you!!!
Welcome to Quoteland. I am not finding anything along these lines; in fact, I was finding stuff that indicated just the opposite. Found some stuff about "The Song of the Lamb" that looked interesting, but I don't think it's what you are looking for. http://juchre.org/articles/song.htm English are said to go into a battle with songs about roast beef in their mouths. When the Kentuckian encounters dangers of battle, or of any kind, when he is even on board a foundering ship, his last exclamation is, 'Hurrah for old Kentucky’. ~ History of Kentucky by Charles Kerr, William Elsey Connelley, Ellis Merton Coulter

I agree. After checking I found some other people have the same assignment. I couldn't find it in my military quotations books either. It would be interesting to see where it originated.
