“the egyptian people have made heavy sacrifices for the sake of (pg. 989—ed. ) securing to their country liberty, justice, and independence; Some gave all they possessed, others the half, but all gave some mite to the national cause, as can be proved by letters and telegrams to the war minister. ” (bold type mine).
This phrase has been around for quite a while, but for some reason i only just encountered it for the first time a couple weeks ago, painted on a wall. It is widely attributed to korean war veteran howard william osterkamp, and was more recently popularized by a song by billy ray cyrus in 1992. Some gave them white bread, some gave them brown:
But, as you can see, we are never beaten. All gave some and some gave all. And some stood through for the red, white and blue.
