from the farms of the Middle West, from factories and offices, and their counterparts in other countries who learned the art of war and learned it quickly enough to triumph over enemies indoctrinated in militarism from the cradle.
 "You at Bradley Field-Oficers, Enlisted men and women, civilian employees, past and present had a direct or personal part in that victory in Europe. Ours has been a training mission. Thousands of young men have gone from this Base to the theaters of war. You have worked with them and helped to train them. With justifable in terest you have followed the Fight CT Groups once stationed here. With pride you have read the names of those who have been cited for their deeds in the air over Germany. And no less a contribu- tion has been made by those of Bradley Field who helped to train the men who administer to the combat crews, maintain their planes and supply their many needs.
 ". :. Let us also remember Pearl Harbor, Bataan, the Death March while we rejoice and give thanks for victory. Again remind you that the War is not over. We are merely several touchdowns ahead in the third quarter against des perate enemy who has outlawed the rule book. Some of us may be playing relatively drab games in the line or perhaps we are on the bench resting or awaiting our chance. Whatever our job, remem- Der that it is our contribution to the victorious ending of the war. Not one of our victories to date has been won by men who decided before the fight was over that they had contributed their share"
