Ridgway responding to Hunt's request for favorite quotations. The first quotation is Book of Joshua 1:5. The second quotation can be found on the base of the monument to the Scottish-American soldier dead of World War I. He describes the monument in great detail, including the fact that the soldier gazes upon Edinburgh Castle. He states that he carried the quotation in his wallet along with a photograph of Edinburgh Castle, but was not able to visit the monument until he relinquished his post as Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO.
