• Major Crane : I received this telegram from the War Department: "William Colton. Graduate, West Point. Recommended for the Medal of Honor following action in the Battle of Shiloh. Retired as Captain William Colton." Retired one short week after Appomattox. Retired or quit? Which was it, Colton?

  William Colton : That's my own personal business.

  Major Crane : A career officer of the Army of the United States doesn't have the luxury of his "own personal business." And I should think that would go double for a West Pointer. A good officer is true to his life, his code, takes orders, keeps his mouth shut!
