“While so much of what we portrayed in The Pacific reflects everything that young men stand to lose in times of war, Red Blood, Black Sand shows us what it is possible for them to retain. The boy who pestered his mother to join the Marines is still with us, and we are better for it. Chuck: For your heroism, your service to your country, and for your personal friendship, I will always be grateful. Semper Fi Semper, Your friend, Ben”

“When the band played “The Star-Spangled Banner,” I had to fight back tears of pride. I have never been so proud of myself and my country, before or since. We were no longer boots; we were authentic United States Marines.”

“As anyone who has ever walked the red carpet will tell you, it is a crowded and chaotic affair, the most important rule of which is to keep things moving. In spite of this, for a few minutes, as Chuck recounted his story of heroism and loss, reliving every moment, the red carpet at the Chinese Theatre ground to a halt. Nobody asked us to move. Nobody interrupted. Everybody waited. Even the Hollywood PR machine knew to pay the moment and the man the proper respect.”
