During World War II General Bradley gave(Paddy) Flint command of the 39th Infantry Regiment in Sicily, in an attempt to breathe some life into the men who had shown signs of sluggishness. When Flint's first showed up his helmet and jeep was stenciled "A A A-0". These letters stood for "Anything, Anytime, Anywhere bar nothing. Within a few days the symbol caught on and the 39th had painted "A A A-0" on every helmet and vehicle in the regiment!
The German's who fought the 39th Regiment in Sicily got the impression that this was a crack assault. They reported to the German High Command that the crack forces of the United States Army wore the strange "A A A-0" symbol". The regiment became a crack fighting unit they fought Anything(German troops/tanks), Anytime, Anywhere Bar Nothing.
TODAY WE WILL LIVE AAA-0 AS IF THIS WAS THE LAST DAY OF OUR LIFE
