"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Though they may be effective against blades, I think we can all safely agree that breastplates don't do jack s*** against artillery

Looks like it did well against a bullet, led ball.
I know that a lot of armor was resistant to pistol(maybe even blunderbuss) at the time.

And now for the pun.
Looks like he is a bit Saint like now.
Ya know he's Holey. 
It seems his armor proved to be Blessed. Ya know.... Holey.
Looks like he was, disembowled!
Ok those are very bad puns.
