Colonel Quotations

I remember serving in Vietnam in that war, and many of us at the major Lieutenant Colonel, colonel level were frustrated that no one in the U.S. wanted to debate it that way.

I'm better than P. T. Barnum and Colonel Parker put together.

It was by a Maryland colonel in the year 1777 that the British received, in the gallant defense of an important fort, one of the first lessons of what they were to expect from American valor and patriotism.

We passionately set up a programme that we call the Indian gun programme. I challenged Colonel Bhatia, who heads our defence business, that let's build an Indian gun. There's a belief that Indian companies aren't capable of this, and we want to prove them wrong, as we did in components.

Colonel Jack Jacobs is a good guy. And I see him on occasion.

I don't doubt every colonel wishes he had more in his area, but the decisions about how troops are (deployed) are made by the commanders above them.

I can think of no one more appropriate or compelling than Colonel Madden to keynote the conference this year. This year's conference highlights the technological challenges facing the U.S. military services and Colonel Madden will address these challenges of achieving a net-centric environment.

I appeal to him to just come out voluntarily in terms of his status as an ex-senator and a colonel of the armed forces.

I still have an old painting the Colonel gave me. It was the first time the Colonel had been back to the Hilton since Elvis had passed away.

We were his last resort. And when we evaluated this kid, the colonel cried.

I was one of 101 black officers arrested. And this was April 12th of 1945; they charged us with the 69th article of war - which is treason during wartime. Actually, what we did helped to get Colonel Davis back to command the group - the composite group here in the states. And also helped integrate the Air Force and the rest of the Armed Forces.

When I think of Colonel Crawford it reminds me a lot of the district I grew up in, a rural district that has had success, and what my brother has been able to establish in four years at Western Reserve. It will take some time, but I think our kids are going to buy into our philosophy. I know it's the right fit.

When I was four years old, my father, who was a colonel in the army, was stationed in Salzburg, Austria. Across the street from our house was an ancient castle on a cliff. So when I first heard fairy tales, I felt as if the magic of 'Cinderella' or 'Sleeping Beauty' was taking place right in my own neighborhood.

When Colonel Gadhafi started using his air force against civilians on the ground, we did not hesitate. Then we supported the resolution of the Security Council, which introduced arms embargo for Libya.

was told by Colonel Warren, the JAG officer for General Sanchez, that they weren't assigned to me, that they were not under my control, and I really had no right to see them.

With the newspapers cheering, Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt chose a top-notch regiment of more than 1,250 men. They were first called Teddy's Texas Tarantulas and went through three or four other monikers until Roosevelt's Rough Riders stuck.

The role of the Colonel was not exactly written for me or the role that I wanted to play, but he was written like an imbecile or kind of foolish.

I've only been at two schools, Colonel Crawford and Galion, and the kids have been great.

To some extent, the idea that rock 'n roll used to have this sort of free antediluvian identity, frolicking in the 1950s with Elvis or something, is totally wrong. It's insane. Elvis' relationship with Colonel Parker, his manager, was one of the most possibly corrupt, certainly lucrative, and intense business partnerships ever in rock n' roll.

Both teams are better. We got better contact and hit the ball better. But Colonel Crawford has, too.

This is great. Last year we were the winners of the first ever pizza challenge and tonight we were the first winner of the celebrity panel and we won first place again. We are very grateful to all of the community support and to the Colonel Crawford Foundation for putting on this event.

In May 2013, my lawyer Dmitry Dinze filed a complaint about the conditions at PC-14 with the prosecutor's office. The deputy head of the colony, Lieutenant Colonel Kupriyanov, instantly made conditions at the camp unbearable.

I met the Colonel when Elvis was recording some song I'd written for one of his movies. Elvis was just having fun with the gang and all the Memphis boys and Colonel Parker was sitting over here in like a theater seat.

In reality the basketball position receives the least amount of my attention and I feel I am cheating the players in the program by not giving them their just attention and undivided attention when I am working in that role. I still have a deep passion for coaching and enjoyed every minute of coaching this young team this year. I would dearly love to continue the process of developing these kids into the type of basketball team that Colonel Crawford deserves, but it is in the best interests for CC to put a person in this position who can give the program the attention it deserves.

The fourth game we just fell apart, the fifth game we fell apart again. Colonel just wanted it more than we wanted it.

You know, my dad was a lieutenant colonel at Ft. Lewis on the 3rd of March, 1941. Fifteen months later, he was commanding a theater of war.

There was no coordination with me or Colonel Pappas. There was no discussion about chain of command.

We certainly appreciate everyone's right to an opinion. Colonel Sanders was one of Kentucky's most distinguished citizens, a great entrepreneur and a fine charitable man of faith, and he certainly has a place in Kentucky history. We believe he warrants appropriate recognition as such.

Colonel Parker said, When we get off the plane, you stay with Elvis. I want you in all the pictures.

Colonel Sanders was one of Kentucky's most distinguished citizens, a great entrepreneur and a fine charitable man of faith, and he certainly has a place in Kentucky history. We believe he warrants appropriate recognition as such.

The greatest story of all is Colonel Sanders. He didn't start until he was sixty-six on a freeway bypass for his chicken shop. Anything is possible!
