To make sure that he's taken care of.

 It's amazing to be here as a soldier and as a civilian as well. I just hope it lifts the spirits of every soldier out there. It's a great thing to win a medal for your country.

 And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty.
  Douglas MacArthur
