Never Take Counsel Of Your

Do Your Duty And Leave The Rest To Providence.

All I Am And All I Have Is At The Service Of My Country.

Under Divine Blessing, We Must Rely On The Bayonet When Firearms Cannot Be Furnished

In The Army Of The Shenandoah, You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Army Of The Potomac You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Second Corps Of This Army, You Are The 'first Brigade!' You Are The 'first Brigade' In The Affections Of Your General, And I Hope By Your Future Deeds And Bearing You Will Be Handed Down The Posterity As The 'first Brigade' In This Our Second War Of Independence. Farewell!

Who Could Not Conquer With Such Troops As These?
