God almighty, in a few short hours we will be in battle with the enemy. We do not join battle afraid


The Allied code names for the beaches along the 50-mile stretch of Normandy coast targeted for landing were; Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. Omaha was the costliest beach in terms of Allied casualties.
We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker car rental san diego we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit. ~  General George S. Patton, Jr
Men, I am not a religious man and I don t know your feelings in this matter, but I am going to ask you to pray with me for the success of the mission before us. And while we pray, let us get on our knees and not look down but up with faces raised to the sky so that we can see God and ask his blessing in what we are about to do.
God almighty, in a few short hours we will be in battle with the enemy. We do not join battle afraid. We do not ask favors or indulgence but ask that, if You will, use us as Your instrument for the right and an aid in returning peace to the world.
We do not know or seek what our fate will be. We ask only this, that if die we must, that we die as men would die, without car rental san diego complaining, without pleading and safe in the feeling that we have done our best for what we believed was right.
