Reichsmarschall George Rockwell in “Unfinished Business”

Reichsmarschall George Rockwell

We gather here today to honor a true hero of the Reich. When the hour of decision came for Thomas Smith, he rose to the occasion in a way that admirably reflected upon his father. Without wavering, without self-pity, Thomas Smith, on his own, made the ultimate sacrifice for a community, a country, a cause. Surely, Thomas Smith shall forever stand a peerless exemplar of Aryan youth. And as we remember this day, let us absorb a great lesson: In the hour of decision, in the hour of crisis, when we look for leadership, and for courage, to whom do we look? We look to people covered in medals. But sometimes, we are better served when we look to a boy. A boy with a dream in his heart.
