Genral Patton's Christmas Greeting & Prayer for Fair Weather

Christmas - December 25, 1944

Headquarter
Third United States Army

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 blessing rest upon each of you on this Christmas Day.


<signed>
G.S. Patton, Jr.,
Lieutenant General
Commanding, Third United States Army

Prayer

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 upon 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.
