Men of Honor Quotes

Breaking Rules to Make History

Tagline: History is made by those who break the rules.

The Burden of a Navy Diver

Captain Hanks: Navy diver, you will stand down.
Billy Sunday: [Hanks signals the other admirals, but they quiet him down; counts as Brasher makes his steps; Brashear finally makes it; sailors help him sit down; sailors remove his helmet] Diver, you will disregard, this is my detail! Goddammit Cookie, move your ass, I want my TWELVE! Nine, a Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. Ten, if it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. Eleven, If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he will ever get to being a hero. Hell, I don't know why anybody'd want to be a Navy diver, now you report to this line, Cookie! At ease. Tenders, unhat that diver.
