GRATITUDE
D-Day was the most critical day of our genera
tion. We are deeply indebted to the press, radio
and newsreels which,, since the beginning of -the
invasion, have kept us fully informed as to the'
movements of the Allied forces.: :' :; r, .'. !' '
This, the greatest achievement :in the gather
ing and dissemination of information ever-recorded,
makes us realize what our men, faced when''
they landed, and more fully understand the debt
of our obligation as individuals and organizations
in backing up our armed forces. ' . " , :
Our prayers are; with all who are participating .
in the liberation of ; Europe, and our sympathy
goes out to the families of those who have made
the supreme sacrifice. ; r :
