* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** As the Rough Riders ride a troop train through the Deep South on their way to Cuba, practically every mile they see Confederate veterans [[StillWearingTheOldColors dressed in Rebel gray]] saluting them as they pass by. The Buffalo Soldiers even get a few salutes in spite of Jim Crow.
** Black Jack Pershing's pride in the 10th Cavalry, who get no respect thanks to racism, but whom he considers the best soldiers America has: "These men would follow me into Hell, and I couldn’t ask for better company!"
** Hamilton Fish, mortally wounded, is only concerned with George Neville’s condition. The two men couldn't come from more different backgrounds (a Harvard-alumnus millionaire scion, and a barely-literate Arizona outlaw), but Fish ignores his own injuries to ask, "George, my friend, are you alright?" Badly wounded himself, Neville tries to comfort Fish in his final moments.
** Returning to America as war heroes, some of the Rough Riders enjoy a night on the town in New York. Dirt-poor middle-aged homesteader Eli in his [[BlingOfWar dress uniform]] is the center of attention of at least a half-dozen beautiful young women at a fancy dinner with Craig Wadsworth and William Tiffany.
* RetroactiveRecognition: The film has early roles for Creator/ChrisNoth and Creator/TitusWelliver.
