This is a scene from the movie Gettysburg.
The 20th Maine was led by a man who was a teacher not a professional soldier. The 20th had lost half its men and now where on its way to protect the flank at little round top in Gettysburg. This group of men being address had refused to fight anymore due to the poor conditions. Chamberlain gave this uplifting speech. In the end the 20th would defend the Union flank in one of the most heroic battles in American History, the battle of little round top. If they gave in the the South would have swept over the Union's flank and we may not have an America today.
This is to all veteran's who have fought for this great country to keep us free and safe.
