english: We were in a difficult operation in Afghanistan in 2007, and an old friend of mine, that I had spent many years at various points of my career with -- godfather to one of their kids -- he sent me a note, just in an envelope, that had a quote from Sherman to Grant that said, "I knew if I ever got in a tight spot, that you would come, if alive."
non_english: Boli sme v zložitej operácii v Afganistane v r. 2007 a jeden môj starý známy, s ktorým som strávil mnoho rokov na rôznych miestach mojej kariéry -- krstný otec jedného jeho dieťaťa -- poslal mi odkaz, len v obálke, kde bol výrok Shermana Grantovi, keď vravel: "Viem, že keď by som bol v úzkych, prišiel by si, keď by si bol nažive."
