"Theo. I have run out of ammunition. I'm going to ram this one. Good bye. We'll see each other in Valhalla."
- Heinrich Ehrlers last transmission over the Squadron Radio Network before he rammed a B-24 bomber, destroying both aircraft and killing himself. |

I think he arranged a meeting in the wrong place.

You're right, our civil war reenactment group took part of the movie. I certainly wasn't Armistead in the movie, got that nickname from my group during a reenactment when I ran my sword through my hat. Being a fan of civil war history, I got chills when we all marched for the union center....the cannon fire was amazing. It actually felt spooky, like reliving something glorious, yet terrible. Probably one of the best days of my life, over 17,000 men in uniform having a ball. "Tell Hill he must come up. Strike the tent." Robert E. Lee. Forward! For God's sake, Forward!" John Reynolds {leading the Iron Brigade at Gettysburg" "Water." ...U. S. Grant. |

I only got two seconds of air time as they scanned the troops as Armistead was giving his speech. What was haunting to us, before we charged, the wind picked up swirling the trees, you can see it in the movie if you pay attention. |

My only comment was addressed to the actual "I'm a screamer" line. That's from the scriptwriter's imagination. I also notice that there are many references here to "famous last lines" that, while funny, could hardly be considered bad@$$.
