12 여기에서밀리면더는갈곳이없다. 미군을보라. 저들은남의나라에와서목숨을걸고싸워주는데우리가이무슨꼴이냐. 다시한번대한남아답게싸우자. 내가선봉에서겠다. 내가등을보이면너희들이날쏴라! If we retreat from here, there is nowhere else to go. Look at the Americans. They are risking their lives in a foreign nation to fight for us, but what are we doing? Let us fight like true sons of Korea once again. I will be in the vanguard. If I turn back on you, you will shoot me. - 백선엽, 대한민국육군제 1 사단장 ( 다부동전투에서, 1950 년 8 월 ) - GEN (R) Pak, Sun-yeop, Republic of Korea Army 1st Division Commander (August 1950, Battle of Dabudong) 12 Korean War 60th Anniversary of 3rd year Plan
