* At one point the human survivors of the retreat up the East Coast have stopped retreating in Washington DC. In Chapter 64, as they are preparing to fight back at various points, an officer directs his men to dig trenches and fox-holes in Arlington Cemetery, commenting "The soldiers, sailors and Marines buried on this hill would have no argument with a little jostling. They understood". I cannot read this scene without crying, because if anyone would understand why their graves needed to be disturbed, those in military cemeteries like Arlington would in fact, understand.
* All throughout the series, the Posleen encounter massive explosions and traps, marked by the Army Engineers (Sappers). In Chapter 65, the Posleen encounter the same symbol in Washington DC. When they recognize it as the headquarters of the Engineers, they literally turn around and run (which Posleen never do). The reaction of the Engineers who had in fact trapped their headquarters to take out the entire Posleen force was hysterical laughter.

* In ''Watch on the Rhine'' Hans Brasch got a pre-mortem one-liner that is the definition of SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. "This is for my wife Anna, whose name you never asked, you NAZI SON OF A BITCH!!!"
* Mike's first experience with real command, in ''A Hymn Before Battle'', is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome from start to finish, but he caps it off by being the first human ''ever'' to take down a C-Dec battleship, and he does it by jumping onto it with an ''antimatter frigging bomb.''
* Mike continues to bring the awesomeness in the sequel, ''Gust Front''. After half of the book of rout after rout after rout, the defenders of Northern Virginia being pushed back all the way to the Capitol Mall, [[TheLastStraw some of the soldiers decide that they are tired of running]] [[LastStand and set up their defenses around the various monuments and memorials in the area]]. While they put up a valiant effort, the Posleen continue to swarm across the Potomac, and it looks like it's the end...[[CrowningMomentofAwesome until O'Neal and his company arrive in the form of a massive many-headed dragon spewing out (gun)fire from each head, blasting hard rock music all the while]].
** Furthermore, the non-ACS survivors of the Battle of the Monument become known as "[[TookALevelInBadass the 600]]", which, in turn, form the core of an ACS support force called "[[BadassNormal The Ten Thousand]]", which take on the Posleen in the similar numbers as the ACS, only without using [[PoweredArmor Armored Combat Suits]].
* Doubles as a [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. In ''Yellow Eyes'', the relatively new dictator of Panama, William Boyd, asks the nation of Panama, on the eve of the battle that will either break the Posleen infestation in Panama or break the defenders of Panama and doom the nation, to pray for the success of the battle. One of the churches of Panama City has one of the junior priests go out to the congregation gathered outside and begin singing "Non Nobis", a simple Latin prayer. [[CrowdSong soon, the singing spreads like wildfire, and has the entire city, then the rest of the human-held world, singing along as well]].
