"[addressing the assembled prisoners as a tribute to Aguilar] Some may think to be remembered in this way. Would be a disgrace to a soldier. But this is not a disgrace. The greatest monuments to fallen men... are not made in marble. They're deep in the sea, deep in the jungles, on foreign battlefields, a rifle driven into the ground with a helmet on top... [clinches fist] and some tags. And that is the tribute that this man has earned. [puts Aguilar's dogtags in the rock] Gentlemen, Corporal Ramon Aguilar, United States Marine Corps. [someone starts singing the Marine Hymn, and everybody soon sings it]"
