GRATITUDE

D-DAY was the most critical day Of our gen.
eroton. We are deeply indebted to the press,
radio and newsreets winch, since the beginning Of
the invasion, have kept fully informed as to the
movements Of the Allied forces.
This, the greatest achievement in the gather
ing and dissemination of information ever re-
corded, makes us realize what our men faced when
they landed, and more fully understand the depth
of our obligation as individuals and organizations
in backing up our armed forces.
Our prayers are With all who are participant
ing in the liberation of Europe, and our sympathy
goes out to the families of those who have mode
the supreme sacrifice.
