Fort Apache

Fonda: (Lt Colonel)

O'Rourke.

Ward Bond: (Sergeant Major)

Sir?

Fonda:

This Lt. O'Rourke. Are you by chance related?

Ward Bond:

Not by chance sir, by blood. He's my son.

Fonda:

I see.

How did he happen to get into West Point?

Ward Bond:

It happened by Presidential Appointment sir.

Fonda:

Are you a former officer, O'Rourke?

Ward Bond:

During the war I was a Major in the 69th NY Regiment, the Irish Brigade, sir.

Fonda:

Still, it's been my impression that Presidential appointments were restricted to sons of holder's of the Medal of Honor.

Ward Bond:

That is my impression too, sir.

Will that be all, sir?

Fonda:

Yes Sergeant, it will.
