拯救大兵瑞恩里的一个虚构场景:当三个瑞恩的死讯上报给马歇尔时,法国将军反对派出突击小组寻找最后一个瑞恩,马歇尔拿出一封古老的信念了一遍,是林肯得知Bixby夫人连丧五子后写给她的,以说服大家去冒险。
Bixby的五个儿子后来被证实只有两个阵亡,其它三个一个被活捉后逃到北方光荣复员,一个开小差后加入南方,一个开小差当了水手。该信也不太象是林肯亲自写的,而似出其秘书John Hay的手笔。但这些都无伤此信的内容,且吻合林肯废奴的终极信念,就是相信自由和准备牺牲,不久他自己也成了sacrifice upon the altar of freedom的一部分,非李敖说的维护统一。
原文--
Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln
