| "Almighty and most merciful
Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain
these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant
us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers
who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from
victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness
of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations.
Amen." |
"To each officer and soldier in the Third
United States Army, I wish a Merry Christmas. I have full confidence
in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We march
in our might to complete victory. May God's blessings rest upon
each of you on this Christmas Day."
G.S. Patton, Jr., Lieutenant General
Commanding, Third United States Army. |
