Great minds of the past

[F2d5thCav]

Why are you dodging like this? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.

--last words of General John Sedgwick, Union Army.

Reports that he never finished the sentence are apocryphal, although the line was among his last words.  He was shot by a Whitworth rifle moments later under the left eye and mortally wounded.

For the Vietnam veterans -- it was in honor of this general that Firebase Sedgwick of the 25th Division was named.
