I was drafted during the Korean War.

I spent two years in the military service, then I trudged around in repertory for quite a while. I somehow wound up at the National Theatre, though, and then I was definitely on my way.

DACA recipients risk a lot to come out of the shadows & sign up, but many will tell you the risk is worth being able to live and work in the only country they’ve ever known as home. DACA recipients serve in our military, work in Fortune 100 companies, and conduct important medical research.

It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days. Yet you should not marvel if I do not enter that city so quickly.

My great-grandfather and his two brothers fought at Gettysburg. They were in artillery, and they survived the war, thank goodness. So I revere what they did. I think their motivations were honorable when they undertook the war and participated in it along with other Southerners.

After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.

In 1962, war was avoided by Khrushchev’s willingness to accept Kennedy’s hegemonic demands.

That summer after the draft was probably the most fun I’ve ever had, because all I had to do every day was wake up and go work out for four or five hours. I got to play some golf, which I love to do, too, and then got to hang out with my family.

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today’s military rejects include tomorrow’s hard-core unemployed.

The battle of Austerlitz is the grandest of all I have fought.

An agent won’t help you get drafted higher, won’t make you win more games, and won’t make you faster or stronger.

What happened in the missile crisis in October 1962 has been prettified to make it look as if acts of courage and thoughtfulness abounded. The truth is that the whole episode was almost insane.

Right after the draft, when I came out to Oakland, there was a press conference and a dinner with the owner, GM, and Coach Nelson. We did some sightseeing and some house searching the next day, but to be honest, I had no idea what I was doing. I tried to find a spot close to our gym, because I figured that’s where I’d spend most of my time.

I was 22 when JFK was murdered, and I will never recover from it… Never.

I was drafted during the Korean War. None of us wanted to go… It was only a couple of years after World War II had ended. We said, ‚Wait a second? Didn’t we just get through with that?‘

The U.S. military was segregated ‚til the Korean War, and the blacks in World War Two were totally segregated.

I’ve been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.

I was an Eisenhower Republican when I started out at 21 because he promised to get us out of the Korean War.

You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.

I did 20 years in the Navy. I joined the Navy right out of high school and went through Navy boot camp, went to SEAL training, got done with that, and then showed up at a SEAL team, where I did 20 years. That was pretty much my whole adult life.

I think 9/11 affected everybody in one way or another.

The events of October 1962 are widely hailed as Kennedy’s finest hour.
