“From this day to the ending of the world”

From The Other McCain: Remembering St. Crispin’s Day: ‘We Few, We Happy Few, We Band of Brothers …’

25 October 1415 is a date to remember.

That is the date of The Battle of Agincourt and the defeat of the French by Henry V and his army of (mostly) English Yoemanry.

So it was that the English yeomanry earned their military fame in a battle where the number of French casualties was larger than Henry’s entire army. Indeed we shall remember “to the ending of the world.”

And one of my favorite versions of "The Band of Brothers" speech, comes from a very unusual place. Renaissance Man starring Danny DeVito.
