...That Hut." Wherever he went, he had a tendency to lecture the troops, even to preach. To Christian and non-Christian alike, he emphasized the divinity of Christ, appealed for stoical acceptance of death on the battlefield and quoted Sherwood Anderson, Joan of Arc, Shakespeare and the Bible. As the troops were eating Christmas dinner at Cu Chi northwest of Saigon, Romney made a little sermonette, suited, if for anything at all, for Good Friday.
