About This Quote

The image of a soldier burning on the battlefield is one of the most popular images in Western art. How many people have seen this image and had that image stay with them? When Sergeant Kranz was first burned, he looked like he had just fallen out of a cannon. He looked terrible, but he got back up, because he knew what he had to do to save lives. In this quote from the movie Saving Private Ryan , we see a soldier burned from head to toe, but he still gets back up and fights. We can all learn from the way that Sergeant Kranz rose from the ashes and went on to save more lives, even after being burned alive.

The lesson here is that even though you may be hurt badly physically, if you keep going, eventually you will find a way back onto your feet. If you keep going, you will make a difference in the world.
